Jay Z opens 40/40 Club at Atlanta airport

Jay Z is opening his 40/40 Club at the world’s busiest airport.

Spokeswoman Victoria Hong of Jay Z partner Delaware North Companies says the sports bar portion of the club opened on Wednesday for ticketed passengers at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Airport concessions director Paul Brown says there are plans to create a VIP lounge area of the club, separate from the sports bar on another floor. Brown says the lounge is expected to open in the late autumn.

Rapper Jay Z opened his original 40/40 club in Manhattan with business partner Juan Perez in 2003. The club has another location at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York.
