Peyton Manning, who owns a number of Papa John’s franchises, has admitted that sales have been booming since Colorado legalized marijuana.

Peyton Manning Thankful For Colorado Pot Legalization

Manning, the star quarterback for the Denver Broncos, readily admitted that the pizza business was doing quite well these days – at least in Colorado.

“There’s some different laws out here in Colorado,” Manning told Sports Illustrated’s Monday Morning Quarterback. “Pizza business is pretty good out here, believe it or not, due to some recent law changes.”

As it turns out, Manning was reaping the benefits of Colorado’s new laws as early as last year. Sales jumped from $3,000-$4,000 a day to $5,000-$6,000 a day, according to a TMZ report, which also claimed that one of the Manning-owned Papa John's saw a cool 25% increase in sales.

In recent Months, Manning has apparently opened up four new Papa John's franchises.
