Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken Inks Deal Bringing Brand to Dallas

Durham, North Carolina - Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken has signed a franchise deal to bring 20 units to the Dallas metro area.

The franchise has thrived post-pandemic with its contactless ordering, food locker system, low labor matrix and strong work/life balance. Founded by a CIA-trained chef, the elevated Southern comfort food has proven nationwide appeal, with its biscuits being named one of the best in the country by Food & Wine Magazine.

The new franchisees, Ashwin Reddy and Isha Vedire built a large outpatient behavioral practice that they scaled to over 30 providers with seven locations. The husband-and-wife duo were looking for their second act and found it with Rise.

“While our backgrounds are medicine and engineering, our love and passion are business, entrepreneurship, and building & growing companies,” said Reddy.

The new deal comes as Rise is about to celebrate its 10th Anniversary next month.

“As Rise reflects on the last 10 years, we’re excited to also look forward to a very bright future bringing Rise to new locations like Dallas,” said Rise CFO Ken Priest.
