About
GREYS was founded by Jackie and Kurt Mullican in 2019 as an online business offering cheeseboards throughout Memphis. The founders expanded from online boards to educational workshops, collaborative dinners, and pop-up events before opening physical locations. The company opened its flagship brick-and-mortar store in Memphis in 2021, followed by a Nashville location in 2022, and later expanded to Franklin at The Factory. The company describes itself as “a full-service Cheese Shop offering an array of services and education about cheese,” and states that its goal is “to bring a unique cheese experience to our communities.” It refers to its customer community as a “turophile tribe.”

Additional Information
GREYS Fine Cheeses maintains an active presence on Facebook and Instagram and offers online booking for classes, catering, private events, and its Wine and Cheese Club. Each of its three Tennessee shops is presented as a combined retail cheese shop and dine-in cheese bar, and the company describes each as the only cheese bar and shop in its respective city. Across all locations, the business pairs retail sales of artisanal cheese, charcuterie, and wine with on-site dining, education, and event hosting. Beyond walk-in shopping and dining, customers can book raclette dinners, fondue experiences, wine and cheese pairing tastings, and private events, or order catering and cheese boxes for delivery. The cheesemongers cut cheese to order and provide guidance on selections, reflecting the company’s stated emphasis on education about artisanal cheesemakers.
