Former 90 Day Fiancé franchise star Ellie Rose recently revealed to followers that she has had to close down her beloved pizza restaurant in Seattle. On 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 3, Ellie left her home to be with her love Victor McLean on his small island in Columbia, Providencia. Once there, life was more complicated than Ellie had ever imagined, and a hurricane didn't help either.
Even though 90 Day Fiancé's Ellie Rose's love life may be going right, her business life seems to have taken a turn for the worse. The 90 Day Fiancé star took to her business profile on Instagram via @vainishingseattle to share some devastating news about her pizza joint noting that "after ten years," Central Pizza which is located at 29th and Jackson, would be closing its doors on January 27th.
Ellie opened her eatery with her friends, Eric Ellsworth and Steve Scalfati, in August 2013 and the restaurant was known for its thin-crust Italian American pizza. Ellie announced that she will be selling the business, and it is unclear if the new owners will serve pizza.
90 Day Fiancé Star Ellie Was Passionate About Her Restaurant
Central Pizza was also known for its amazing Caesar salad and Italian sandwiches. The 90 Day Fiancé alum's pizza place wasn't just another restaurant, as it also featured work from local artists and used reclaimed furniture from the community. In the post, Ellie also addressed how hard it had been to run a small business, noting it was "extremely stressful." The 90 Day Fiancé star had dealt with staff shortages and increased costs. The social media post pointed out that more help was needed from the city in the form of grants. As TLC viewers know, Ellie has been a staple of her neighborhood for years and is sad to have to give up.
What Will 90 Day Fiancé Star Ellie Do Now?
Ellie was 45 and a thriving pizza shop owner when she decided to take a chance on love and move to be with Victor, who was 38 and from a small island town. It was clear from the way she spoke about her restaurant that Ellie enjoyed running it. Giving up ownership of the restaurant so she could relocate to Providencia was a decision that weighed on her. However, Ellie eventually moved back to the States, and Victor joined her. Though Ellie no longer has her restaurant, she seems very happy with Victor, and may actually enjoy having more free time to spend with him.
Even though Ellie and Victor don't often post updates on their lives, the 90 Day Fiancé couple recently celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary. The ceremony was briefly shared during an episode of 90 Day Diaries, but Ellie and Victor are now living in Seattle. Ellie posted a few photos of her and Victor at Central Pizza as she shared her pride and joy with her husband. The plan is still for the couple to move back to Providencia, but Victor needs to wait for his Green Card to arrive.
