Graze Craze Brings Unique Charcuterie Boards and Boxes to Bellevue, WA

BELLEVUE, WA (May 31, 2023) — Graze Craze®, an innovative charcuterie concept offering fresh, high-quality grazing boards and boxes opened its first storefront in Seattle’s Eastside at 2632 Bellevue Way NE in the North Towne Shopping Center on May 1. 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, hand-crafted charcuterie boards and boxes are beautifully designed to feature delicious assortments of fresh, high-quality ingredients, including gourmet meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade dips, artisanal sweets and more. Graze Craze offers a variety of grazing options to cater to any lifestyle, palate, or occasion, whether it’s a casual get-together for a low-carb crew, a date night for a pair of veggie-lovers or a large formal affair for a group that loves sweets.

Melanie Bard, franchise owner of the new Northtown Bellevue Graze Craze, has worked in the food and beverage industry for over 45 years, cultivating an extensive background in restaurant and food truck management. Bard owns The Brief Encounter Café, a highly rated breakfast restaurant in Bellevue WA, that will now also serve as the storefront for her new Graze Craze. Bard enjoys developing new food concepts and serving locals, so she is looking forward to offering Graze Craze to the community and using her new business venture to continue her involvement with nonprofit organizations like Old Dog Haven, Sophie’s Place and more.

“My inspiration behind embarking upon this new venture with Graze Craze is the joy and cheer that food brings to everyone,” said Bard. “My whole family has been involved in this journey and we can’t wait to share this delightful graze-style way of eating with the community.”

Graze Craze charcuterie boards are created by a highly trained charcuterie concierge, known as a Grazologist™. Each board is meticulously designed to offer exquisite arrangements and a variety of tastes for each celebration, whether it is a family get-together, community event, birthday party, corporate cocktail hour or wedding reception.
