Graze Craze Franchising

10/22/2026

The headline isn’t that Amaan Bhanji started young. It’s what he did next.

After signing with Graze Craze while still in high school, Amaan spent two years navigating real estate, permitting, construction, and everything that comes with getting a business off the ground. He opened Graze Craze Arlington at 20 and has since built his business through disciplined operations, local partnerships, market flexibility, and a willingness to keep showing up when things get difficult.

Now, with a second territory in Washington, D.C. in development, a new feature takes a deeper look at the work behind Amaan’s growth and the mindset that continues to drive him forward.

His story is a strong reminder that franchising can provide the model, but owners still bring the discipline, adaptability, and leadership that turn opportunity into momentum.

From serving his country to building something new alongside his wife, Scott and Sara McNabb have officially kicked off their next chapter with Graze Craze - Alpharetta, GA. 🎉

Their grand opening was a chance to introduce the community to more than beautifully crafted charcuterie. It was the start of a business shaped by their shared backgrounds in marketing, sales, brand building, and a genuine love of entertaining.

For Sara and Scott, Graze Craze felt like a natural fit: a brand built around quality, creativity, and helping people make more out of the moments they share.

We’re excited to see them put their own stamp on Alpharetta and build a business designed to bring people together, one gathering at a time. ✨
