Rise Biscuits & Donuts sets August 19th opening date for Short Pump location

Rise Biscuits & Donuts, a Durham, NC-based purvey of of savory breakfast biscuits and sweet donuts, will soon open a location in Short Pump–its first in the Richmond area. The store will open Saturday, August 19th in the Short Pump Corner shopping center.

To celebrate its grand opening, Rise will be donating 10% of opening day sales to Comfort Zone Camp, a non-profit organization that offers free camps to provide support for children who have experienced the loss of a loved one.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing Rise to Richmond and can’t wait for folks to taste the best dang biscuits and donuts,” said Nash Osborn, who owns the Short Pump franchise with partners David Dowdy and Matt Hurley. “Community building is at the heart of Rise’s mission, and we’re proud to be giving back to Richmond by raising money for Comfort Zone Camp.”

Rise first opened in Durham, NC in 2012, drawing crowds and netting multiple local and national awards. The shops serve unique biscuit sandwiches featuring fried chicken, country ham, and sausage topped with cheeses, spreads, and eggs as well as regularly changing specialty biscuits and sandwiches. Donuts share equal billing and are divided into “old school,” “new school” and “our school” categories, each with unique flavors and toppings.

The company has more than 100 franchise locations in the works and is growing rapidly.

Rise will be located at 11561 West Broad Street and will be open from 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM daily.
