New Charcuterie Concept Graze Craze Now Open in Centennial, Colorado

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (Nov. 14, 2022) — Graze Craze®, a booming new concept in charcuterie boards and boxes for healthy lunches, office catering and special events, opened its first Denver-area location at 5730 E. Otero Avenue, #800, in Centennial’s Foxridge Plaza. Graze Craze is the newest food brand to join the community of award-winning companies affiliated with United Franchise Group™.

Lisa Collins and Mark Hessling, franchise owners of Graze Craze’s new Centennial location, were looking for an entrepreneurial venture that would be a fit for their family when they discovered the charcuterie franchise. Collins’ passion for cooking and her family’s background in the restaurant industry perfectly aligned with Graze Craze’s vision to make every day a special occasion. As an active member of the local community for over 40 years, Hessling is excited to use his extensive knowledge of photography, videography and social media marketing to enhance the Graze Craze experience and offer high-quality charcuterie to locals in time for the holidays.

“Being from a large, Italian-American family, grazing tables have been a staple throughout my life,” said Collins. “We’re excited to use our expertise to bring this unique concept to the community and provide delicious charcuterie served in the most beautiful way to help families celebrate this special time of year.”

Graze Craze specializes in artfully designed, hand-crafted charcuterie boards and boxes featuring customizable food displays that are perfect for grazing — including fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, gourmet sweets and more. The unique menu features several grazing options fit for any occasion and lifestyle. Whether it’s a formal affair for veggie lovers or a casual get-together complete with meat and cheese for a low-carb crew, Graze Craze has something to offer for everyone. Each charcuterie board is beautifully curated by a Grazologist™ — your very own charcuterie concierge — with several different size options from single boxes for the lone grazer, to grazing boards with enough fresh food to feed a party of any size.

Graze Craze offers free local delivery any day of the week, and the storefront is open for pick-ups from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sunday.
