What You'd Be Franchising
The product, the stores, the fans. A look at the brand you'd be bringing to your city.
The Treats Fans Line Up For
A tight, crave-worthy menu that's simple to run and impossible to resist — the product does the selling.
From One Dallas Counter to a Texas Favorite
Rise & Co started in 2018 with a single counter in downtown Dallas, a warm cookie, and a simple belief: a small, perfect menu done exceptionally well beats a big one done okay. Eight years and 24 locations later, that belief has turned into one of Texas's most-loved bakery brands — with a genuinely obsessed customer base to show for it.
We've spent those years refining the un-glamorous stuff: the recipes, the store layout, the supply chain, the training, the marketing playbooks — everything that makes a location run smoothly and profitably. Now we're ready to grow, and we're looking for owners who love the brand as much as our customers do. When you franchise with Rise & Co, you're not starting from scratch — you're plugging into a proven system with a loyal following already waiting.

Loved by Owners and Customers Alike
I opened my first Rise & Co in Plano two years ago and it was profitable in month five. The brand does the heavy lifting — customers already know and love it — and the support team is on speed dial for everything from build-out to marketing. I'm signing for my third location this year. Best decision I've made.
I came from corporate with zero bakery experience, and Rise & Co's training and playbooks made it genuinely doable. The systems are dialed in, the product basically sells itself, and the community of owners is incredible. Nine months in, my Frisco store is beating projections. This is a real, feel-good business.
Rise & Co cookies are a weekly ritual for my whole family — warm, gooey, and somehow always fresh no matter which location we hit. The coffee's great, the staff are lovely, and the boxes make the best gift. Every new store that opens near us is a good day. Can't wait for one in our neighborhood.
We cater client meetings with Rise & Co boxes and they're always the highlight — nobody's ever disappointed by a warm cookie. Ordering is effortless, delivery is on time, and the brand makes us look good. As a customer I love them, and honestly I've looked into franchising because the fans are that loyal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Rise & Co franchise cost?
Total investment varies with location, size, and build-out, and includes the franchise fee, equipment, and working capital. We keep the model deliberately approachable compared to full-service concepts, and we offer financing guidance to help you explore your options. Request the franchise info kit and we'll walk you through the full investment range and what's included on your intro call — clearly, with no surprises.
Do I need bakery or restaurant experience?
Not at all — many of our best owners came from completely different careers. What matters more is drive, a love for the brand, and a commitment to great customer experience. Our full training program and operating playbooks are designed to get first-time owners and their teams confident and capable fast, and our support team stays with you well beyond opening day.
What kind of support do I get?
A lot. From site selection, lease negotiation, and build-out to training, marketing, and daily operations, our team is hands-on at every stage. You'll get proven playbooks, national and local marketing support, supply-chain relationships, and a dedicated franchise team on speed dial. You're an owner, but you're never on your own — your success is literally how we grow.
Are single and multi-unit franchises available?
Both. Plenty of owners start with a single location to learn the business, then expand into additional units in their territory — and we love supporting that growth. If you're an experienced multi-unit operator, we also award multi-unit and area-development deals. Tell us your goals when you request info and we'll map out a path that fits your ambition and your market.
Which markets are available?
We're actively awarding territories across Texas and expanding into neighboring states. Protected territories are available, but the best markets go quickly. The fastest way to find out whether your city is still open is to request the franchise info kit — we'll check availability for your market and let you know where things stand on your intro call.
How long does it take to open?
It varies with real estate and build-out, but most owners go from approval to grand opening in several months. We move at a pace that's thorough, not rushed — securing the right site, completing training, and launching your local marketing so you open strong. Throughout, you'll have a clear timeline and a support team keeping every step on track toward a successful opening day.
