As part of redevelopment of the closed Trump Taj Mahal, Hard Rock International is planning to open a gas station at the corner of Pacific and Virginia avenues, according to plans filed with the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority.
The proposed complex, Rockstop Gas & Wash, will feature a convenience store, gas pumps and a car wash. In June, Hard Rock opened its first gas station in Northfield, Ohio as part of the Hard Rock Rocksino.
Since July, workers have been removing the ruby-red minarets and onion domes that dominate the property’s facade as the transformation continues on Hard Rock’s newest property, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. The rebranded property is expected to open next summer.
Hard Rock investors Jack Morris and Joe Jingoli are spending more than $500 million renovating and rebranding the property. The project is expected to generate more than 1,000 construction jobs and 3,000 permanent jobs, according to the company.
