Charcuterie Concept Graze Craze Open in Spokane Valley, Washington

Family-owned business to offer unique grazing experience to locals

Graze Craze®, a booming new concept in charcuterie boards and boxes for healthy lunches, office catering and special events, opened its first location in Spokane Valley at 12709 E Mirabeau Parkway, Suite 50, in Pinecroft Business Park. Graze Craze is the newest food franchise to join the community of award-winning brands affiliated with United Franchise Group™ (UFG).

Alan and Cindy Rice, with the support of their daughter, Victoria Ellis, are excited to bring Graze Craze to Spokane Valley. Driven by their shared entrepreneurial spirit, the Rice family plans to open at least two more Graze Craze locations and are looking forward to being active in their community by volunteering and fundraising for local schools, events and organizations.

“We are over the moon to have the opportunity to share this new and exciting concept with our community,” said Cindy Rice. “My husband and I are passionate about providing an incredible customer experience and are looking forward to putting smiles on our clients’ faces by giving them beautiful charcuterie boards that wow.”
