9 Fast Food Chains Owned By Celebs

3. Magic Johnson Created Jobs (Starbucks, TGI Fridays – California)

Johnson isn’t your average celebrity splurger, he’s a real entrepreneur! Proof of this can be found in Ladera, California, where he set up a TGI Fridays in order to provide cheap dining options and, more importantly, jobs for people in the area. Over the next few years, Johnson set up Starbucks stores in the same area where he made one interesting innovation. The basketball legend installed tables outside the store where the chess lovers of the neighborhood (and apparently there are many) could come and play their favorite game while enjoying a good cup of joe. Is he revolutionizing business? Nope, he’s “magicizing” it!
