Ariana and Katie invited several friends and co-stars to the pre-opening event last week.
However, it appears that only Tom Schwartz has publicly promoted Katie and Ariana’s new business, despite the pair being friends with several of their other Vice President costars.
Tom shared an Instagram Story on Wednesday of an orange screen with white text at the top.
“Shout out to @somethingabouther at their grand opening,” he wrote with a flower emoji.

“The campaign to introduce the muffuletta menu starts now”, he concluded.
No other cast members acknowledged the opening on their social media.
Fans of the show noticed this and took to X, formerly Twitter, to discuss their thoughts.
“Tom Schwartz gives a shout out to Something About Her at his grand opening. He’s the only one in the #PumpRules cast so far,” one fan wrote on the social media site with a screenshot of Tom’s story.
“The most support he has ever shown Katie,” responded one user.
“Her incessant need to be loved is almost as exhausting as LaLa’s… well, just her in general,” added another in reference to Lala Kent, who was criticized for hitting on Ariana at the reunion.
“Did any of them go to any of the openings, including the pre-openings? I don’t remember seeing any of them in anyone’s stories. Specifically LVP [Lisa Vanderpump]” noted a fourth.
“I’m not surprised LFU [Lala Kent], [Tom] Scheana and Sandoval (obviously) weren’t there, but I thought James Ally Schwartz and LVP would be there.”
“I’ll give him a brownie point, it’s better than nothing,” said a fifth.
THE GRAND OPENING
On Wednesday, hundreds of people attended the store’s long-awaited opening after a delay of more than a year and permitting issues.
An eyewitness said the store was busy with a huge queue outside of people from all over the country coming to visit.
“Fans were very excited to finally get in and experience what has been teased for a long time,” the eyewitness revealed.
“The line was around the corner and the wait to get in lasted more than two hours.”
One fan, however, told The US Sun that the grand opening “felt very anticlimactic” and not at all like a grand opening, as there were “no balloons, signs or decorations” or “anyone standing in front to indicate it was a grand opening.” store”.
“People, although very excited, were also disappointed by some initial setbacks,” noted an eyewitness.
Ariana and Katie are said to have looked stressed as they ran around the store.

“So please bear with us. We’re going to move slowly, but we’re really excited to have you. We’re going to start letting people in, I guess one or two people at a time.”
