A source close to Vanderpump confirms she's planning to open the center in West Hollywood, the same area where her popular restaurants, SUR and PUMP, are located.

The 55-year-old reality star was originally hoping to open it on Santa Monica boulevard in a space she leases, but unfortunately her landlord didn't approve the request. Therefore, she's currently scoping out new locations.

A RHOBH production source adds that this new business venture will be a storyline on the upcoming seventh season of the hit Bravo series.
