Graze Craze Hits 100 Locations, Revolutionizing Charcuterie Dining

Graze Craze®, the nation's largest charcuterie franchise specializing in artfully designed boards, boxes, and catering, has reached a remarkable milestone by opening its 100th location in the Lake Nona community of Orlando, Florida. This achievement comes less than five years after launching its franchise program, with the brand experiencing explosive growth during the pandemic and expanding internationally to Australia, France, and Canada. As part of United Franchise Group™ (UFG), a global affiliate network of 11 award-winning brands, Graze Craze is led by 30-year-old president Cory Hibbard, who has overseen this extraordinary expansion. The company's success demonstrates that charcuterie has evolved from a fleeting trend into a timeless dining experience that brings people together through shared food experiences.

The brand's rapid growth trajectory includes opening 23 new locations year-to-date and signing 45 new franchise agreements, securing expansion into new markets across the United States. Graze Craze has maintained impressive financial performance with 27 consecutive weeks of year-over-year average unit volume growth and closing out Q2 2025 as its 16th consecutive positive quarter. Ray Titus, CEO of UFG, emphasized that reaching 100 locations in under five years is an extraordinary accomplishment in franchising, where less than 20% of U.S. franchises ever achieve this milestone. The company operates under its mission to help customers "Celebrate Everything™" through premium meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, and house-made dips and sauces curated by expert Grazologists™ who transform everyday moments into genuine connections.

To celebrate this significant achievement, Graze Craze is hosting a nationwide social media contest giving away 100 charcuterie boards to winners in local communities. As part of the Big Flavor Brands™ food service division of UFG, the company continues to revolutionize the catering industry by providing consistent and convenient charcuterie solutions for the masses. The brand's success validates the growing consumer appetite for innovative dining experiences that combine quality ingredients with artistic presentation.
