Not long ago, it was announced that Jay-Z would be bringing his 40/40 Club to numerous airports throughout the country. Now, it seems that he'll be branching out once again, this time to five major cities.

According to The Network Journal, Jiggaman has plans to bring his franchise to Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Tokyo and Macau at some point this year.

"In the case of the food establishment that stays in business, there usually is a formula of success that is comprised of operations, service and quality excellence and consistency," says Alex Askew, co-founder of the Black Culinarian Alliance.
