#5 Blaze Pizza
LeBron James invested in Blaze Pizza back in 2012. With a $1 million dollar investment, the pizza brand took off as James turned it into a franchise.
Blaze Pizza differentiates itself from most other pizza outlets purely on the basis of customer choice. Allowing the customer to modify their pizza, each one is custom made and tailored to the consumer's tastes.
With 19 outlets opening up in Chicago and Miami, LeBron James' investment in Blaze is currently valued at $35 million. The difference that LeBron's investment made now sees Blaze Pizza as one of the fastest growing food chains of all time.
One aspect of Blaze Pizza that made it go viral was a clip of LeBron James going undercover as a staff member for the franchise. The video took off on the internet and garnered a lot of attention for the food chain as LeBron continued to make good on his investment.
Guess the Lakers players!
