“We’re excited to introduce Graze Craze to Clay,” Rawda said in the announcement. “Charcuterie is growing in popularity and people enjoy having boards made to their specific tastes. Graze Craze’s custom, made-to-order boards make it easy to create a unique presentation, and we’re excited to have the opportunity to be involved in our customers’ celebrations.”
The franchisees will lead a team of “expert Grazologists,” who curate charcuterie boards made from a variety of specialty ingredients, like meats and cheeses, fresh fruits, crisp vegetables and more, accompanied by house-made sauces, dips and jams.
Each grazing spread features a “complementary blend of flavors, colors and textures that produce an eye-catching work of edible art that can be both admired and enjoyed,” as described in the announcement.
“We’re so excited for the opening of our flagship New York location,” Cory Hibbard, president of Graze Craze, said. “Chris and Colleen just get it — they’re passionate about their community and take pride in what they do. We’re thrilled to have them bring Graze Craze to the Upstate and help create memorable experiences for our clients.”
“We both come from big, sports-oriented families,” said Rajkowski, who formerly worked as an executive VP for a local retail company. “Our families love to celebrate life with food and gatherings, and we want to bring that kind of joy to our customers at Graze Craze.”
Clay Marketplace, where Graze Craze Clay is located, is a brand-new, multi-use development that includes the David’s Landing apartment complex, according to the announcement. The new store is open for pick-up, catering and delivery Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
