Take It From Our Fans

Rated 4 out of 5

“The better-breakfast category remains largely untapped, with plenty of space between coffee-and-doughnut concepts and full-service breakfast-and-brunch joints. Rise has a great opportunity to fill that void, serving premium breakfast options quickly to customers on the go. There will no doubt be pent-up demand for that kind of business after the pandemic, which is one of the reasons why we included Rise on the 40/40 List. Its potential is huge.”

“First time in Richmond/Short Pump and tried this place for breakfast this morning and man was it amazing!! Coming from NY I know a good breakfast and this is a place I wish we could have up in NY the biscuits were really good and everything I had the ham was outstanding the bacon the sausage the fried green tomatoes the blueberry biscuits the cheesy tots were like mashed potatoes fried in a mini ball of joy it was amazing so glad I came to try this place for breakfast whenever I come back here this will definitely be one of my must come to spots!”

“We were looking for a good franchise restaurant opportunity. The concept had to have a great personality and unbeatable food. One of the biggest draws for us was the ability to open a Rise location in a former restaurant space, converting it to Rise quickly and for less than a traditional build out. This is an investment, we liked the ability to open for less and maximize our ROI.”
