Show host Andy, 55, relayed a question from a viewer who asked Katie, 37, when the Something About Her sandwich shop opened.
“I don’t mean opening day because…” Katie replied.
‘RIGHT. This year?, said Andy.
“Oh, sure. I told you at the meeting. You know it’s coming very soon. So real soon,” Katie said, referring to the recently filmed Vanderpump Rules Season 11 reunion.

Katie and Ariana sparked speculation earlier this month that their sandwich shop closed before opening its doors.
Ariana, 38, and Katie first announced plans to open a gourmet sandwich shop in the new West Hollywood in 2022 – with Something About Her planned to launch in May the following year.
The store’s launch, however, was affected by countless delays, with Ariana revealing she had “a lot of hoops to jump through” to get the proper permits.
Although both men flogged merchandise for the store, Katie seemed to confirm that the store had closed during a chat on the Vanderpump Rules post-show.
Katie and Ariana were discussing the cost of renting an apartment in Los Angeles – with Katie saying: “We were paying a mortgage and for a long time we were also paying Something About Her rent, so…”
Fans quickly took to social media to speculate about the store’s future.
The sandwich shop created by the Vanderpump Rules stars was originally supposed to open last May, but did not have the necessary permits. An Instagram page for the store – which has 392,000 followers – has not been updated since November 2023.
A source previously shared with The US Sun that the reality TV personalities’ establishment would open soon.
Ariana and Katie, introduced last November in Las Vegas, sparked speculation earlier this month that their sandwich shop closed before opening its doors.
Katie and Ariana are featured last July at their sandwich shop Something About Her in West Hollywood.
“Oh, sure. I told you at the meeting. You know it’s coming very soon. So real soon,” Katie said, referring to the recently filmed Vanderpump Rules Season 11 reunion.

“It will definitely be open no later than mid-August,” the insider said.
The person added: “Everything is completely finished: the menu is finished, the interior is finished, the staff is hired.”
The business owners were forced to fork out six-figure sums to destroy and recreate the outdoor space and bring it up to standard. Ariana and Katie also had to remove their signage.
While filming the Vanderpump Rules season 10 reunion, the two said they had already sold $200,000 worth of merchandise related to the store.
Products include sweatshirts, T-shirts and hats, with prices ranging from $29.99 to $49.99.
Katie and Ariana on Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules skipped a group trip to Lake Tahoe to work at the sandwich shop and avoid Ariana’s ex, Tom Sandoval, 41.
Ariana ended her longtime relationship with Sandoval in March 2023 after learning of his months-long affair with good friend Rachel Leviss, 29.
