Jay-Z and business partner Juan Perez announced they will be temporarily closing their midtown Manhattan 40/40 Club for the summer. The club will re-open after extensive renovations have been completed.
"Starting June 1st, The 40/40 Club's New York City flagship location will undergo a complete transformation from floor to ceiling," read a letter from the two owners. "Lead by world renowned designer Jeffery Beers, The 40/40 Club's makeover will draw inspiration from the energy, grandeur and opulence of New York City nightlife. We are eager to re-open our doors in September and re-introduce a revolution in luxury sports watching and nightclub experience. We appreciate your patience and continued dedication to our growing brand as we vow to return to the scene stronger than ever."
