Family Opens NJ's First Graze Craze Charcuterie Store in Ramsey

RAMSEY, NJ (Oct. 31, 2023) — Graze Craze®, a popular charcuterie concept, brought its artfully arranged, sweet and savory grazing boards and boxes to New Jersey, on Monday, Oct. 23 at 88 E. Main St. in downtown Ramsey near the train station. The new store is the first of several planned locations of the charcuterie concept that is under the leadership of franchise owner Dragan Stojkovski and his family.

At Graze Craze, highly trained experts known as Grazologists™ skillfully design charcuterie arrangements that feature an assortment of fine ingredients perfect for grazing, like fresh fruits and vegetables, premium meats and cheeses, artisanal sweets, nuts, house-made jams and more. Graze Craze charcuterie boards offer something for every lifestyle, dietary preference or palette, and are available in a variety of size options to cater to any occasion, big or small. The concept is part of Big Flavor Brands™, the food service division of Starpoint Brands™, a family of trusted companies affiliated with United Franchise Group™, whose members represent the very best in their industries.

The family-run charcuterie store is owned by Dragan and his wife, Vesna, with support from their sons, Martin and David, along with Dragan’s mother. Dragan is a native of Macedonia who attended college in the U.S. and opened his first Graze Craze after a career in banking. The new store is conveniently located in a popular shopping and dining area that is central to the community, providing convenient access for locals who want to stop in and place an order.

“I’m excited to bring Graze Craze to Ramsey so residents and visitors can enjoy this unique concept that’s perfect for busy families who want a quick but delicious and hearty meal,” said Stojkovski. “We make everything in-house, with nothing premade, so our grazing boards are always fresh and full of flavor.”

Graze Craze charcuterie arrangements incorporate a variety of flavors, like the fan-favorite Gone Grazey board, perfectly balanced to provide a bit of everything – a mix of cured meats, premium cheeses, crackers, fresh produce, nuts and more. The Vegegrazian is impeccably designed with a medley of fresh fruits and vegetables for anyone embracing a plant-based lifestyle. Those with an undeniable sweet tooth can enjoy the Sweet & Grazey, which is hand-crafted using an abundance of delectable desserts like gourmet chocolates and baked goods paired with sweet dips to accent the irresistible flavors.

The artisan-inspired charcuterie offerings at Graze Craze are available in different size options, from Char-Cutie-Cups and Picnic Boxes for nibbling to sharing-size boards with enough fresh food to feed a large party. The food displays are ideal for elevating work meetings, family gatherings, lavish events and more, while they also make for memorable gifts that impress.

“As a New Jersey native, it’s exceptionally exciting to see our footprint expand into the Garden State,” said Cory Hibbard, president of Graze Craze. “We look forward to being a part of Dragan’s journey in offering fresh charcuterie to the Ramsey-area.”
