Frank and Al's Pizza plans to have extra staff.
"Yeah we probably will for lunch time. Have an extra driver maybe an extra person inside to help out a little bit of rush hour we're going to get," says manager Alan Ruiz.
Many business owners are hoping Tebow surprises with his talents on the diamond and makes it to spring training next year.
