The owners of Rise Pizza & Pub have announced the closing of their restaurant. This Friday will be their last day in business. Their statement reads in-part,
It is with a very heavy heart that we have to share the news we are closing Rise. Friday will be our last day of service. The perpetual kitchen-staffing crisis in the restaurant industry coupled with high operating costs and razor-thin profit margins have made it unsustainable for us to stay in business. We regret this decision tremendously as we had envisioned Rise being a staple in the community for years to come…Thank you for all the support over the past 2 years. Restaurants are always a risk and we don’t regret taking that leap at all. We’re just devastated that our passion wasn’t enough to keep it going. We’ve made some great friends and will miss seeing all of you every week.
Rise opened in August 2023. It’s located at 319 Main Street in Cumberland Center. They’ll be open this week 4 – 9 pm on Wednesday and Thursday, and noon – 9 pm on Friday.
