Rise Biscuits Donuts - a North Carolina-based biscuit and doughnut shop - is opening its first Virginia location this summer in Short Pump.

The quick-service restaurant will be called Rise Richmond and will be location at 11561 W. Broad St., across from Short Pump Town Center.

Rise Biscuits Donuts started in 2012 in Durham and the chain now has 10 locations, all in North Carolina.

“We are excited to bring this creative, chef-driven concept to Richmond,” co-owner David Dowdy wrote in a news release. “We feel there’s a void Rise will fill nicely in the breakfast market and can’t wait to serve scratch-made biscuits and donuts daily to hungry Virginians.”

Dowdy is opening the Richmond franchise with business partners Nash Osborn and Matt Hurley. In the next three years, "the trio plans to open four additional Rise restaurants in central Virginia, including a second Richmond location," according to the news release.

The restaurant serves sandwiches such as fried chicken, ham and sausage topped with cheeses, spreads and eggs on either a biscuit or potato roll. Doughnut flavors include Maple Bacon Bar and Crème Brulee.

Rise Biscuits Donuts is slated to open in June and will be open 7 a.m. - 2 p.m. daily.
