Peyton Manning – Papa John’s
The recently retired Denver Broncos quarterback has been one of the most visible high-profile names in the franchise world, thanks to his association with (and commercials for) Papa John’s pizza. He owns 21 franchise locations of the chain in Colorado — a keen move, given the state’s legal views on marijuana.
“Pizza business is pretty good out here, believe it or not, due to some recent law changes,” he said in a 2014 interview.
