Vanderpump Rules stars Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney were spotted cheerfully checking on the progress of their new business venture.
The pair are planning to launch a Los Angeles sandwich shop called Something About Her, which they hope will open by the end of the month.
Ariana, 37, appeared in bright spirits as she and Katie, 36, emerged from their car and hugged a male colleague who met them outside the venue.
They were then all spotted heading into the premises, presumably to have a look at how the place is coming along ahead of its grand opening.
Katie and Ariana’s respective exes Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval famously own two Los Angeles bars together, TomTom and Schwartz and Sandy’s.

Now the two Toms’ former girlfriends have teamed up with one another to embark on an entrepreneurial enterprise of their own.
Ariana cut a casual figure in a hoodie and a pair of black sweats, letting her signature platinum hair cascade over her shoulders.
Meanwhile, Katie, who has been known by the nickname ‘Tequila Katie,’ bared her enviably toned midriff in a crop top worn under her sweats.
The pair cut a celebratory figure on Insta Stories as they posed inside their restaurant, festively flinging their arms into the air.
The sighting comes after Ariana appeared on on Wednesday’s season 10 reunion episode of Vanderpump Rules and confessed to making $200,000 in merchandise sales since the Scandoval affair broke.
Ariana has been capitalizing on the affair since splitting with longtime boyfriend Tom Sandoval, 40, in early March after learning of his months-long affair with her good friend Raquel Leviss, 28.
Reunion host Andy Cohen, 54, asked Ariana and her business partner Katie Maloney, 36, how much they made in merchandise sales for their yet to open sandwich shop Something About Her.
‘Well, it’s about $200,000,’ Katie answered.

Wise choice: ‘We were always going to do merch in the shop, and we thought that was something we would do, like down the road,’ Ariana explained
Fan service: ‘But then people were saying ”How can we support you?” And so we launched it early,’ Ariana said

‘Two-hundred thousand,’ Ariana confirmed, to which Andy’s jaw dropped in disbelief and Lisa Vanderpump, 62, said it was enough to open their sandwich shop.
‘It’s really incredible that so many supportive people showed up to, like help us,’ Katie said.
Scheana Shay, 39, looked on proudly and smiled at Ariana and Katie as Katie’s ex-husband Tom Schwartz, 40, and Sandoval sadly looked on.
‘We were always going to do merch in the shop, and we thought that was something we would do, like down the road,’ Ariana explained.
‘That was smart of you,’ Andy noted.
‘But then people were saying ”How can we support you?” And so we launched it early,’ Ariana said.
Ariana then revealed that she brought some Something About Her merchandise for Andy to replace the hoodie that Raquel gave him three weeks earlier that she wore to BravoCon while engaged in an affair with Sandoval.
‘I’d wear that shirt,’ said Raquel’s former fiancé James Kennedy, 32, of the Something About Her brand. ‘Yeah. I’d make it fashionable.’
The reunion was filmed in March a few weeks after the Scandoval affair broke and Ariana and Katie said they expected Something About Her to be open by the end of May.

Tom and Ariana split in March after she learned of his affair with Raquel while supporting him at a concert by his band Tom Sandoval And The Most Extras.
Ariana found a raunchy incriminating selfie video from Raquel on his phone and confronted Raquel who admitted to the secret affair with Sandoval.
Raquel at the time was in New York City for a joint appearance on Watch What Happens live with Scheana Shay.
Scheana admitted that she exploded in anger at Raquel when she learned about the affair and shoved her. Raquel later filed a restraining order against Scheana that forced them to keep their distance while filming the reunion.
