    Is this receptacle on a GFCI breaker or is it a GFCI receptacle? I assume the new receptacles will need to be GFCI too, right?

    I agree with ballengerb1, that everything needs GFCI protection, once you verify / rectify that, add a WP box and a nipple. If you are going to use a 3 gang bell box, I recommend using all Decora devices, it will make finding a cover much easier. Or you can go with 2 x 2 gang bell box, or add 1 x 2 gang bell box, and get an stacked switch (S1 over S1). Any way you do it, decora devices make finding the right cover much easier.
