Graze Craze Brings Unique Grazing Experience to SE Colorado Springs
Local family fulfills dream of owning a food concept together through sharing beautiful charcuterie boards and boxes with the community.

Graze Craze®, a charcuterie concept specializing in fresh, high-quality grazing boards and boxes opened its second Colorado Springs storefront at 2035 B St. in Stratmoor Valley’s College Plaza. Graze Craze is a member of the Starpoint Brands™ family of trusted companies, a division of United Franchise Group™ (UFG) representing the very best in their industries.
At Graze Craze, beautifully designed, hand-crafted charcuterie boards feature delicious assortments of fresh, high-quality ingredients, including gourmet meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables, artisanal sweets and more. Each unique grazing board is specially crafted to cater to any lifestyle or palate, like veggie-lovers or low-carb crews, and come in several different size options to fit any occasion, be it a casual weeknight meal, elevated corporate meeting, or a large special event.
Veteran Doug McMurdo is the proud franchise owner of the new Southeast Colorado Springs Graze Craze. McMurdo and his family had always dreamt of starting a food business together, so when they discovered Graze Craze, they were excited that the charcuterie concept’s unique franchise model would allow them to pursue their dream. Serving the local community has been a driving force for McMurdo and his family, and they look forward to contributing to the growth and success of the area through their continued involvement with the local non-profit, Colorado Springs Rescue Mission.
