String of businesses on famed Sunset Strip closing for good
Since February, at least five businesses along the strip have announced they will be closing, one of which being the beloved Le Petit Four restaurant.
In an Instagram post, the restaurant, which has been open since 1981, stated that rising costs and a decline in foot traffic made the decision to shut down permanently 'unavoidable.'

A GoFundMe looking to raise $150,000 to help save the establishment had raised more than $6,000 in two days; however, Le Petit Four is still set to close on Mar. 31. Click here to donate.
On Tuesday, another restaurant – The Den on Sunset – informed customers that they too would be closing their doors for good.
Located down the street from Le Petit Four, The Den is also closing at the end of March. Their social media post did not indicate why the restaurant, which has been open at the location for 16 years, was shutting down.
Rock and Reilly's Irish pub abruptly shut down earlier this month right before St. Patrick's Day. Their Sunset Strip location, just two doors down from the famous Whisky A Go Go in the heart of West Hollywood, had been open for nearly a decade and a half.

The restaurant's Yelp page lists them as permanently closed, but an official announcement regarding the closure, including a reason why, has not been made as of Wednesday.
Rock and Reilly's three other L.A. locations remain open.
A newer Sunset Strip establishment, Hudson House, also recently closed their doors for good.
A note left on the restaurant's door states that the restaurant, which opened in Jan. 2022, shut down on Mar. 19, according to the WeHo Times.
No reason for the closure was mentioned by Hudson House's owners, Vandelay Hospitality Group.
It's not just restaurants that are shuttering, as Sunset Strip Liquor Store is also closing. The store, which replaced the historic Sun Bee Liquor Market in 2020, is expected to be open until roughly the end of March.

Citing an anonymous source, the WeHo Times reported that the closure is due to a rent increase.
Items inside the store are currently on sale; an Instagram post by the liquor store requests that customers hurry before workers start drinking the inventory themselves.

LONDON, July 31, 2025 /CNW/ - Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to sell its 50 per cent stakes in its Birmingham, UK Joint Ventures, the Bullring and Grand Central Shopping Centres, to its long-standing joint venture partner Hammerson Plc for £319 million.

Net proceeds for CPP Investments in total will be approximately C$615 million. The transaction is expected to close in August 2025.

Q: How is it different from pgLang?A: Project 3 is focused on building brands externally. Q: Why the name?A: The name Project 3 represents three pillars of storytelling: the beginning, the middle, and the end. Q: What kind of ventures does Project 3 undertake?A: The first initiative will be a full-service agency, Project 3 Agency. Q: What services does Project 3 Agency offer?A: Project 3 Agency provides creative direction, brand design, strategy, content creation, event planning, and production services.
