Although LFP spokesperson Arthur Sando would not confirm or deny the report, he did tell The New York Post that the store building is in escrow and that it wil be moving to a new location in Hollywood later this year. “The current location will remain open until that time.”
Paltrow’s new club will have a chi-chic restaurant, a nightclub/lounge, and host trendy cultural events like poetry readings.

The new club will also enforce a strict dress code.
