Unique Charcuterie Concept Graze Craze Now Offering Grazing Boards

Local husband and wife share their passion for graze-style eating with the north Columbus community.

COLUMBUS, GA (May 16, 2023) — Graze Craze®, a popular new charcuterie concept encouraging customers to celebrate everything with fresh, high-quality charcuterie boards and boxes, recently opened its first West Georgia location at 6298 Veterans Parkway, Suite 3H, in Columbus’ Main Street Village. 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.

Local entrepreneurs and franchise owners of the new Columbus Georgia Graze Craze, Veronica and Terry Hutchinson, have served their community for over 20 years. The husband-wife team has always enjoyed supporting the development of their community, so they were excited to discover a business concept that would allow them to offer something fresh and new to locals. Driven by their passion for wine and quality dining options, coupled with their love for outdoor picnics and adventures, the Hutchinson's knew that Graze Craze would offer them a creative outlet, while also meeting the demand for unique dining options in the Columbus-area.

“Most charcuterie boards are centered around meats and have minimal vegetables or vegetarian-friendly dips, so as a life-long vegetarian, I was drawn to Graze Craze because of the house-made hummus and jams, along with the fresh assortment of fruits, vegetables and cheeses that our Vegegrazian board offers,” said Veronica Hutchinson. “Terry and I are so thrilled to have the opportunity to serve our hometown by providing an amazing variety of grazing boards that are fit for any occasion, lifestyle or dietary preference.”
