Marcus Moore, a man from Maryland, is proving that anything is possible for people with autism through his pretzel business. In celebration of Autism Acceptance Month, Moore is thrilled to see his pretzel brand, Moore Crunch, on the shelves at Fishpaws Marketplace in Arnold. This opportunity has brought him a lot of joy and fulfillment.
Moore first started his pretzel business in March 2023 at the age of 30. He has autism and decided to start the business as a way to grow and become self-sufficient. Since then, he has made significant progress, moving from mixing his pretzels in a large bowl to working in a commercial kitchen. He has even introduced a new sour-cream-and-onion flavor and expanded his business to various retailers such as Eddies of Roland Park, Geresbeck’s Food Market, Graul’s Market, and Green Valley Marketplace. Moore Crunch pretzels can also be found in prominent places like The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Sinai Hospital, the National Aquarium, and Camden Yards.
As part of his “Crunch Crew Tour” during April, Moore is visiting different locations that sell his pretzels to meet new people and promote his brand. His mission is to inspire others with autism by showing them that anything is possible. He encourages everyone to not let others dictate what they can or cannot achieve, as there is always a way forward.
Moving forward, Moore aims to raise money to establish a bigger commercial kitchen and hire more staff. He is also passionate about giving back to children with autism, showing that his journey is not just about his own success but about making a difference in the lives of others like him.
