From POTUS to Franchisee: As Retirement Nears, Maybe President Obama Should Buy a Franchise

President Obama has big plans for his retirement, which includes drinking beer and being a “Couch Commander.” We think he should consider franchising.

The end to President Barack Obama’s time in the office isn’t far away—and he’s taking a hard look at how he wants to spend his time once he and his family officially move out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue next January.

“What am I going to do in D.C. for two years?” President Obama asked himself, kicking his feet up on a desk.

After an unsuccessful call to the Washington Wizards, an awkward encounter at the DMV and a Snapchat mishap, the President called a former colleague, the now-retired Speaker of the House John Boehner, for some advice.

“First, stop sending me all these LinkedIn requests,” Boehner said. “And second, here’s the beauty of this thing—you’ve got all the time in the world.”

While Boehner might have recommended that President Obama drink beer before noon, eat McDonald’s breakfast at any time of the day or work on his tan, the staff at 1851 Franchise thinks there’s another, and, dare we say, more productive, option come retirement—franchising. After all, this way, President Obama really can have it all. Want to drink beer all day? There’s a franchise for that. Want to eat breakfast all morning and all afternoon? There’s a franchise for that, too.

So, President Obama, we encourage you to peruse 1851 Franchise—you could be the world’s next great multi-unit franchisee. And if you see something you like, give us a call.
