October 28, 2021 // Franchising.com // THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Rise Southern Biscuits and Righteous Chicken is coming soon to the state of California for the first time with a signed lease for a new location in the Conejo Valley Plaza shopping center in Thousand Oaks, California. Previously a Jack’s Donuts, the new Rise restaurant will be a second-generation site located at 1408 N. Moorpark Rd. Franchisee Bill Propster, an industry veteran who built his career operating Domino’s Pizza locations, signed a multi-unit deal with Rise and plans to open additional locations in Santa Clarita and parts of the San Fernando Valley.

“There really is nothing like Rise in California. The food is amazing and unique to this area, and now that we’ve secured a great conversion location, I’m excited to be that much closer to finally bringing Rise to the Thousand Oaks community,” said Propster. “Not only was it a low-cost conversion from a former restaurant, but the location has new flooring, upgraded electricity and the landlord will be installing new air conditioning.”

Rise’s flagship location in downtown Durham, North Carolina, found success in cutting labor costs and increasing profits from the installation of a unique, heated locker system and touchscreen ordering kiosk over the past year. The Thousand Oaks Rise will be the first franchise location to operate its restaurant with the same locker technology.
