Kevin Hart’s vegan quick-service chain Hart House shutters all locations
🔔 Los Angeles-based vegan chain Hart House, backed by comedian Kevin Hart, closed all four locations on September 10 after two years. Despite no official reason for the shutdown, Hart House had plans for expansion to Atlanta and Washington, D.C., and saw a 350% sales increase in 2023 due to two new locations. The brand, led by CEO Andy Hooper, developed its own meat substitute proteins and didn't partner with external vendors. The broader restaurant industry is similarly struggling, with one-third of top 500 restaurants reporting unit declines over the past year.
