  Graze Craze

  Why grazing is booming

  Grazing boards have become one of the food world’s defining trends — and, increasingly, a serious catering category.
  Graze Craze President Cory Hibbard puts the shift down to a change in how younger consumers want to gather. “We’re
  seeing this big shift right now with millennials and Gen Z in bringing back a desire or interest in hosting,” he says.

  “People have a stronger desire for a sense of community and gathering than they’ve had in a very long time.”
  — Cory Hibbard, President, Graze Craze

  “Younger consumers are impressed a lot less with formal entertainment methods,” Hibbard adds, “and they’re looking
  for a more casual, experiential-type opportunity.” It is a shift with real commercial weight: the UK catering market is
  estimated to be worth in excess of £12 billion, with corporate and event catering a significant and growing share.
  Graze Craze is built for exactly this demand — premium boards, boxes and grazing tables made to order for individuals,
  corporate clients and events, with no hot kitchen or heavy fit-out. In England, founding franchisees can claim one of 190
  protected territories now.
