Jay Z has brought his 40/40 Club to the world’s busiest airport – Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
“We want to have the same type of feel as the regular 40/40 Club,” says spokeswoman Victoria Hong of Delaware North Companies, which partners with Hov. “It’s the airport version of the 40/40 Club.”
Airport concessions director Paul Brown said there are plans to create a VIP lounge area of the club, separate from the sports bar – at 1,500 square feet – on a different floor. The lounge is expected to open in the late fall, Brown said.
Brown called the lounge a “scaled down” replica of original club.
40/40 restaurant and lounges also are located in Manhattan and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Jay Z also had clubs in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, New Jersey, but both closed.
40/40 was named after the rare feat among ballplayers of hitting 40 homers and stealing 40 bases in one season.
