Vanderpump Rules stars Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney were spotted gleefully checking on the progress of their new business venture.
The couple plans to open a sandwich shop called Something About Her in Los Angeles, which they hope will open by the end of the month.
Ariana, 37, appeared in high spirits as she and Katie, 36, got out of their car and hugged a male colleague who met them outside the venue.
They were then all spotted entering the site, presumably to see how the place is doing in the run-up to its grand opening.
Katie and Ariana’s exes, Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval, are known to own two bars in Los Angeles together: TomTom and Schwartz and Sandy’s.

Ariana cut a casual figure in a hoodie and black sweatpants, letting her signature platinum blonde hair fall down her shoulders.
Meanwhile, Katie, who goes by the nickname ‘Tequila Katie’, flaunted her enviably taut waist in a crop top worn under her sweatpants.
The couple cut a celebratory figure on Insta Stories as they posed at their restaurant and celebratoryly threw their arms in the air.
The sighting comes after Ariana appeared on Wednesday’s Season 10 reunion episode of “Vanderpump Rules” and confessed to having made $200,000 in merchandise sales since the Scandoval affair broke out.
Ariana has exploited the affair since she split from longtime boyfriend Tom Sandoval, 40, in early March after learning about his month-long fling with good friend Raquel Leviss, 28.
Reunion host Andy Cohen, 54, asked Ariana and her business partner Katie Maloney, 36, how much they made from the sales of merchandise for their yet-to-be-opened sandwich shop, Something About Her.
“Well, it’s about $200,000,” Katie replied.

Smart decision: “We always wanted to do in-store merchandise, and we thought that was something we would do later,” Ariana explained
Fan Service: “But then people said, ‘How can we support you?’ And so we started it early,” Ariana said

“Two hundred thousand,” Ariana confirmed, causing Andy’s jaw to drop in disbelief and Lisa Vanderpump, 62, saying that’s enough to open her sandwich shop.
“It’s really incredible that so many supportive people have come out to help us,” Katie said.
Scheana Shay, 39, looked on proudly and smiled at Ariana and Katie while Katie’s ex-husband Tom Schwartz, 40, and Sandoval looked on sadly.
“We always wanted to do in-store merchandise and thought that was something we would do later,” Ariana explained.
“That was smart of you,” Andy remarked.
“But then people were like, ‘How can we support you?’ And that’s how we started it early on,” Ariana said.
Ariana then revealed that she brought some Something About Her items for Andy to replace the hoodie Raquel had given him three weeks earlier, which she wore to BravoCon when she was having an affair with Sandoval.
“I would wear this shirt,” said Raquel’s former fiancé James Kennedy, 32, of the Something About Her brand. ‘Yes. I would 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 released in late May.

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