Rise Biscuits and Donuts has acquired a huge following since it opened in Durham in November 2012 – and now the business is making the leap to the next level.
In the next six months, Rise will be opening five new franchises in the Triangle, including one in Carrboro at the 300 East Main Street development. Owner Tom Ferguson says the Carrboro location will open sometime in November.
For the expansion, Ferguson says he’s working with the same company that’s guided the expansion of numerous nationally-recognized brands, like Qdoba and Five Guys Burgers & Fries. (When asked how far he’s hoping to expand Rise, Ferguson jokes: “World domination.”)
Ferguson spoke with Aaron Keck last week on WCHL.
In addition to the Carrboro location, Rise will also be opening franchises in Morrisville, downtown Durham, and Raleigh (Sutton Square and Cameron Village). The Morrisville location will be the first to open – on Saturday, August 22.
