## Story

Rise Biscuits Donuts was founded in 2012 by Tom Ferguson, a Culinary Institute of America-trained chef. The franchise, which *QSR Magazine* recently called the nation's fastest-growing biscuits and donuts chain, now has over 160 units in development across the U.S. Recently, franchise veteran Bill Propster signed a multi-unit deal to expand the franchise throughout San Fernando Valley and Ventura County.

“Rise’s craveworthy food has already gained a huge national following that continues to grow each day, and while Southern California has a lot of trendy and notable concepts, the one that’s missing is Rise Biscuits Donuts,” says Propster. “I’m thrilled to be re-entering the restaurant franchising industry with such an innovative brand, and have full confidence that Rise’s namesake biscuit and donut offerings will be a welcome addition to Southern California.”

Fransmart is the franchise development company behind the brands' expansion. The franchise is looking for experienced franchisees to introduce to brands' unique biscuits and donuts to markets across the country.
