Mark Blount: Franchise Owner of Auntie Anne’s
Mark Blount joined the NBA in 1997, but he only made his 2001 debut, playing for the Celtics. He retired in 2009 after an unspectacular career and invested his money on two of Auntie Anne’s Pretzels franchises. There’s also another former NBA star, who loves Auntie Anne’s. Shaq may not be added to this list, but he is also a proud franchisee of the classic snack stand. Next time you go to the mall to order a pretzel, try to see who’s working-you never know who’s going to be there.
Dan Dickau: Owner Of A Barbershop
Dan Dickau is one of the best basketball players in the history of the Gonzaga University, but, unfortunately, his skills was not enough for the NBA. His professional career lasted just six years, and Dickau had no choice but to look elsewhere for jobs. The former college star successfully made a living by opening The Barbers in Washington, which has turned into a neighborhood favorite. Aside from owning and running his barbershop, Dickau has also made appearances on the Pac-12 Network and ESPN Radio.
