Rudy’s Barbershop, located at 10713 Main Street, has abruptly closed. According to signage on the door of the building, the salon was evicted from this location as an order by King County Superior Court.
The Sign reads, “Notice to Employees: Rudy’s Barbershop Bellevue has been evicted from this location by order of King County Superior Court. Because you may have personal tools at this location, the property manager will provide an opportunity for you to come and retrieve your personal property.”
Community members turned to Nextdoor to voice their concerns. Two main points emerged: first, that the company that acquired Rudy’s Barbershop mishandled this location, and second, that they either failed to pay rent or overstayed their allowed time before construction began.
We reached out to Rudy’s Barbershop and did not immediately hear back.
Rudy’s Barbershop on Main Street first opened in 2014. Prior to that, it was located nearby at the corner of Main Street and Bellevue Way Northeast, in a space that was once a gas station.
The land that Rudy’s Barbershop currently resides on was sold in 2022 for $11 million. The half acre property was purchased by Weiyang LLC. A residential building is planned for this 22,209 square foot site. The planned project includes a six-story residential building with below grade parking. The apartment building will offer units that range from studios to two-bedrooms with den.
