Local Veterans Open Graze Craze Charcuterie Store and Catering Concept in Brandon

Graze Craze®, the rapidly growing charcuterie concept known for its hand-crafted, artistically arranged grazing boards, boxes and more, is now open at 1076 East Brandon Blvd. in Brandon’s East Pointe Plaza. The new shop is owned and operated by husband-and-wife team and local veterans, Richard “Jack” Crowley and Tara White.

The 1,400-square-foot store offers made-to-order grazing boards and picnic boxes that are prepared fresh by trained Grazologists™ and designed to allow clients to create memorable moments over delicious food. Each board is thoughtfully curated with a mix of premium meats and cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables, sweets and more, accompanied by house-made sauces, dips and jams.

“After retiring from the Air Force, we knew we wanted our next chapter to be something meaningful and community-focused,” said White. “Opening this shop felt like the perfect way to combine my background in hospitality with our shared love for bringing people together.”

Graze Craze Brandon’s menu features a variety of options to complement all occasions and please any palate, including:

• The Gone Grazey – White and Crowley’s favorite: a blend of cured meats, premium cheeses, crackers, fresh produce, nuts and more.
• The Vegegrazian – A vibrant medley of fruits, vegetables and cheeses.
• Sweet & Grazey – An abundance of desserts, like chocolates and baked goods, paired with sweet dips.

The charcuterie offerings are available in different sizes, from Char-Cutie-Cups and Grab & Graze options for nibbling to sharing-size boards with enough fresh food to feed a party. The food displays are ideal for family gatherings, large events and more, and they make for memorable corporate and personal gifts that always impress.

White and Crowley are passionate about providing a special new dining experience that brings people together. Drawing on their backgrounds in human resources, customer relations and management, the duo is committed to delivering exceptional service through every order.

“We’ve always loved gathering around great food with friends and family—it’s where the best conversations happen,” said Crowley. “Graze Craze gives us the opportunity to share that joy with others while staying connected to the community we love.”

Outside of their business, White and Crowley volunteer with the James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital and the USO Center at Tampa International Airport. As new additions to the area, they’re excited to strengthen ties in the Brandon-Riverview-area and continue giving back through local partnerships.
