Hollywood actor Kevin Hart is closing all locations of his new vegan fast-food restaurant in California just four months after the state mandated a raise for Minimum Wage workers.
“The response to the product has been incredible, and we thank our committed team, our customers, and our community partners for helping make the change we all craved, and for their unwavering support of Hart House,” Hart House CEO Andy Hooper said in a statement.
Hart opened the restaurant last year in a popular spot of Los Angeles.
“Opening on the corner of Sunset and Highland, across the street from Hollywood High School, adjacent to a Chick-fil-A, a couple 100 yards from an In-N-Out, [and inside] a former McDonald’s building is about as emblematic as you can get of our aspiration to be the future of quick-service restaurants,” the CEO said last May.
