Summary
Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Herman Moore. Herman Moore, a former NFL star with a 12-year career, has seamlessly transitioned from the gridiron to the world of entrepreneurship. Known for his Cinnabon franchises and numerous media appearances, Herman is redefining success off the field.
In retirement, Moore needed a firmer grasp of what it took to run a business, but he was willing to learn. Ultimately, Moore became a franchise owner of 17 Cinnabon stores in Michigan and Florida by 2003.
Moore reportedly owned every Cinnabon franchise in those states in the early 2000s. He was also a Mail Boxes Etc. franchisee in Rochester, NY.
