Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake seems to be preparing for life after athletics as he is set to officially open a restaurant.
Blake shared the news with his social media followers on Sunday, expressing his excitement at his new venture which is set to boost his coffers.
The restaurant is located in the picturesque Fort Lauderdale in Florida in the United States and promises unforgettable experience for dinners.
“After lots of hard work, I’m excited to announce that my restaurant, THE BUTCHER'S BARREL, is finally here! Join me for the grand opening on October 8th in Fort Lauderdale, Oakland Park. I can't wait to see you there,” Blake posted on social media.

The 2011 world champion in 100m missed the Paris 2024 Olympics after a fifth-place finish in the preliminary round of the Jamaica Olympics trials, having previously said that it was going to be his final appearance at the games.
