The global casino and hospitality company says the Atlantic City Hard Rock Cafe will cease operations on Sept. 30.
Construction will then begin on a new cafe inside the former Taj Mahal.
The new cafe will employ more than 100 people, up from the 55-member current staff.
Hard Rock bought the shuttered casino, which now-President Donald Trump opened in 1990, from billionaire investor Carl Icahn.
