Marc Colombo, Dallas Cowboys starting right tackle, has signed an agreement with his teammate Leonard Davis to invest and participate in five of Davis' 30 Smashburger restaurants in the Dallas area.
Smashburger recently signed a 30-unit deal with Davis' BIGG Capital Holdings LLC, a business development group based in Dallas. Colombo will participate through his venture, DC Rightside LLC. Tye Williams, CFP will be acting as the managing partner of the firm formed for BIGG Capital Holdings and DC Rightside.
As outlined in the franchise agreement, Davis and Colombo will own their stores but contract the day-to-day operations and management to the Smashburger corporate team.
"That approach gives high-visibility athletes or entertainers (the) opportunity to participate in the booming better burger business while allowing a proven, world-class management team to lead the operation of their restaurants," said Dave Prokupek, Smashburger chairman and Consumer Capital Partners managing partner and chief investment officer.
Smashburger has announced several franchise deals since early May that will extend the brand's reach into the Midwest and other markets.
