One of the fastest-growing chicken and biscuit concepts is the Rise Southern Biscuits & Righteous Chicken franchise. The fast-casual brand was established in 2012 in North Carolina and specializes in breakfast and lunch. The average location ranges between 1,000-1,500 sq. ft. and is open from 7 a.m. - 2 p.m. This gives franchisees the flexibility to do other things throughout the day like care for their family. Rise was founded by a former CIA trained chef and serves homemade biscuits filled and topped with bold flavors and gourmet ingredients. The fast-causal brand is known for its Righteous Chicken. Rise partnered with Fransmart to bring the brand across the country.
Since its founding, the fast-casual brand has expanded to 19 locations across North Carolina, Kansas, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee and California. Franchisees benefit from multiple revenue streams (dine-in, carry-out, delivery, and catering), a people-centric culture, and love overhead. In terms of the investment, you can expect it to range from $415,100 – $723,600, which includes a $35,000 one-time initial franchise fee. Royalty fees are 6%, and the local marketing fees are 1% of gross sales. Franchisees need to operate at least 5 locations; there are full multi-unit development fees for units 1-3, with a 50% deposit for each additional unit. In terms of support and training, you can expect an initial training program that details everything that you need to know about running the business. This includes marketing and advertising, hiring, food prep, managing finances, and more. You will also be provided with site selection, social media and grand opening assistance. The support and training are ongoing.
