I need a simple list of sports figures who own businesses (any type),
to include: the name of the sports figure, the name of the business,
and the city in which the business is located.

For example:

Don Shula, Shula's Steak House, Miami and Chicago

I know for this example I've given, I listed two cities...and I know
there are 15 locations for Don Shula's Steak House(s).  I do not
expect your answer to contain every location if there are many- please
just list at least one city.

Thanks for your help!

Good point!  I am interested in only the businesses that market to the
public, based on the strength of the person's name.  Thanks!

I'd like the major players- and I'm not sure how many that will be--
20 sounds like a good number!  If you come across many more than that,
let me know, and I'll make a decision on modifying the price for such
extra work.

Hello Trinity,

I hope the information provided is helpful!

Best regards,
Bobbie7

Great job!  This is helpful.  Thank you.

I suspect that a great many professional sports figures own a business
as a vehicle for their investments, sponsoring income, or the like.
Are you interested in these ("any type"), or are you asking about
businesses that serve  - sell to -  the public, marketing on the
strength of the person's name?

How many do you want as an answer?

Just to add to a very complete answer:

Magic Johnson's businesses (movie theaters, etc.) are huge.
Arnold Palmer has at least one Cadillac dealership and
don't forget about Dale Jarrett Ford.

Have a good day.

To thither-ga,
Thanks for the additional info!  I REALLY appreciate it!  

Anyone else who would like to add others that they are familiar with- please do.

John Elway has a number of car dealerships in Colorado.
I believe there's a Don Shula golf club/resort in Florida.
There's a Mike Ditka restaurant.
Mickey Mantle's steakhouse.

Junior Seau's restaurant/giant cigar humidor in San Diego.
