North Carolina-based biscuit and donut shop to rise in Short Pump soon
Rise Biscuits & Donuts will soon open across from Short Pump Town Center.
From WTVR:
A popular biscuit shop launched in Durham, North Carolina announced plans to rise in the north, with an opening planned soon in Short Pump.
Rise Biscuits Donuts was founded in 2012 and quickly franchised after receiving national and local awards; they’ve been ranked among the nation’s best biscuits by Food & Wine magazine.
There are currently 10 stores in North Carolina (Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Morrisville, Wilmington, Greensboro and Carrboro) and in 2017 the chain will expand west to Allen, Tex., south to Savannah, Ga., and north to Richmond, Va.
Rise serves sandwiches on either a biscuit or potato roll, with fillings like fried chicken, ham and sausage topped with cheeses, spreads, and eggs. Special sandwich offerings change monthly.
Donuts share equal billing with biscuits, and are divided into “old school, new school and our school categories,” according to the founders.
