Graze Craze Brings Handcrafted Charcuterie Boards to The Fountains at Gateway
The art of the grazing board has a new home in Murfreesboro. Graze Craze, a fast-growing charcuterie concept, has opened at The Fountains at Gateway, settling into Suite D at 1440 Medical Center Parkway and bringing a made-to-order spin on one of the food world's most enduring trends.
Charcuterie — the careful arrangement of cured meats, artisan cheeses, fresh and dried fruits, nuts, honeys, and accompaniments — has evolved from a quiet European tradition into a full-blown American obsession. What was once a niche appetizer has become the centerpiece of birthday parties, baby showers, office celebrations, game days, and weddings. Graze Craze leans squarely into that demand, building everything by hand and to order, from single grazing boxes meant for one or two to sprawling boards designed to anchor a table.
The shop's offerings stretch well beyond walk-in treats. Custom catering is a core part of the business, with handcrafted boards and grazing tables built for corporate events, family celebrations, parties, and everyday gatherings. For hosts who love the look of an abundant spread but dread the hours of shopping, slicing, and styling, the appeal is obvious — the showpiece arrives ready, balanced, and photogenic.
Its home base is a strategic one. The Fountains at Gateway has grown into one of Murfreesboro's signature mixed-use destinations, a walkable cluster of dining, retail, and gathering space near Medical Center Parkway that draws steady foot traffic and a calendar of community events throughout the year. A made-to-order charcuterie shop fits naturally into that environment, where a quick grazing box can be a casual lunch and a catered board can headline an evening celebration.
Graze Craze keeps hospitality-friendly hours, open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. — a schedule built to catch both the weekday catering planner and the weekend host pulling together a last-minute spread.
The opening adds another distinctive option to a Murfreesboro food scene that keeps broadening beyond the familiar. Between farm-fresh produce stands, new coffee concepts, and now a dedicated charcuterie studio, local hosts have more ways than ever to put something memorable on the table.
