Manning said goodbye to these units just one day before the split.&nbsp;

&quot;After six successful and rewarding years, Peyton Manning and Papa John&rsquo;s International have sold their stake in 31 Papa John&rsquo;s locations, which were part of a joint-venture in the Denver Colo., market,&rdquo; the brand announced.

Despite selling the locations, Manning will remain a spokesperson for the brand. This continued support is part of the retired player&#39;s long-term agreement to serve as an ambassador for Papa John&#39;s. Manning initially signed on with the brand in 2012, and during that time became the owner of over 30 locations.

These locations will now be managed by an existing multi-unit Papa John&#39;s franchisee. The transition of ownership took place on February 26.&nbsp;
