In Arnold, Maryland, a man is challenging perceptions about what people with autism can achieve through his pretzel business. Marcus Moore, who has autism, started his pretzel brand, Moore Crunch, less than a year ago. He has since expanded his business significantly, moving from mixing pretzels in a bowl to working in a commercial kitchen and introducing new flavors like sour cream and onion.
Moore’s pretzels are now available in various stores including Fishpaws Marketplace, Eddies of Roland Park, Geresbeck’s Food Market, Graul’s Market, and Green Valley Marketplace. They can also be found in locations like The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Sinai Hospital, the National Aquarium, and Camden Yards. Moore is currently on a “Crunch Crew Tour” where he visits places that sell his pretzels to meet new people and share his story of empowerment.
