Syracuse Crate

Syracuse Crate grew out of a familiar problem for people who leave home: visiting family in other parts of the country with bags stuffed full of hot dogs, salt potatoes and other local treats. The founders figured plenty of others had the same hometown cravings and built a business around them.

Each crate combines sought-after Syracuse products in one package, which makes shopping simple for former locals, Syracuse University alumni, visitors or anyone who wants a gift with local flavor. The mission is to support area businesses by getting their products to people who miss them or want to share them.
