“We are thrilled to partner with the 40/40 Club, to bring a stylish sports bar and lounge to airports across the country,” Robert Stanton, vice president of business development, said in a press release announcing the new venture. “From the personalized, one-of-a-kind jerseys on the wall, to every sports game you can think of on the television screens, the club will bring a new experience that we are sure travelers will welcome.” (XXL Mag)

Jay’s venue is known for being a popular attraction toward entertainers and referenced in the rapper’s rhymes.

The venues are known for their live music, celebrity patrons, and sports memorabilia. The brand gained recognition when Jay-Z referenced his investment in his 2003 song “Dirt Off Your Shoulder” with the line “Now you chillin with a boss, b*tch of course SC on the sleeve / at the 40/40 club ESPN on the screen”. The video for the Swizz Beatz produced Memphis Bleek single “Like That” was filmed at the club’s New York location. (Celebrity Gossip)
