Washington Wizards and former Heat forward Caron Butler is becoming a fast food franchisee. Well, an investor in a group that has purchased 18 Burger King restaurants in Norfolk and Richmond, Va., Miami-based Burger King Corp. announced this week.

Butler, NFL Hall of Famer Marcus Allen, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Donnie Edwards, New England Patriots running back Kevin Faulk, and New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan have joined a group of mainly minority investors in Ramsell Dining, LLC to buy the restaurants.

“As a teenager, I was a Burger King crewmember, and now I love being a part owner,” Butler said in a statement. “Deciding to invest in the Burger King brand was an easy decision, because it represents not only a great investment opportunity but also a chance to build on the success of minority-owned franchises.”
