Comedian and actor Kevin Hart has abruptly and unexpectedly closed his plant-based fast-food chain, Hart House, including all four of its Southern California locations. The chain, which debuted in 2022, was launched with Hart leading the mission to promote a vegan lifestyle.
According to Eater, Hart House opened its first location in Westchester in August 2022, close to Los Angeles International Airport. A second location followed in Monrovia in November 2022, with a third store in University Park opening in June 2023. In May 2023, the flagship store on Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue opened with a drive-thru, which was intended to be a model for future expansions.
