Rise serves up chicken sandwiches, as well as biscuit and donut offerings.

“We expect to grow the greater Orlando area to 20 locations over the next five years,” operator Don Schnurr said. “The Winter Park location has great demographics and is on a busy shopping street with very little inventory to rent. When the spot became available, we grabbed it.”
