Rise Baking Company Announces Relocation and Evolution of Innovation Center in Atlanta

Rise Baking Company, known for its trusted brands in the baking industry and as a leading manufacturer for in-store bakeries and foodservice operators, has announced the relocation of its Innovation Center from Tucker, Georgia to Uptown Atlanta. The move is part of the company's ongoing growth and aims to enhance collaboration and innovation among its teams.

After more than two decades at the Tucker location, Rise Baking Company is transitioning to a new facility at 575 Main Street NE as its current lease is set to expire later this year. The new office, which will exceed 30,000 square feet, is designed to accommodate the company's expanding needs by bringing together various teams focused on research and development, customer service, and operations.

Mark McNeil, CEO of Rise Baking Company, emphasized the significance of the Tucker facility in the company's history, stating, "As we look ahead, this move allows us to evolve our environment in a way that better supports our people, our customers and how we work together." He highlighted the investment in creating an environment conducive to connection and collaboration.

Eric Schiela, COO for Rubenstein Partners, expressed pride in welcoming Rise Baking Company to Uptown, noting that the company's focus on innovation aligns well with the area's offerings. The new center will feature shared services for R&D, customer service, and commercialization, aimed at fostering business growth and enhancing employee experience.

Uptown Atlanta, a mixed-use community with a variety of retail and restaurant options, is conveniently located near public transit and pedestrian trails. The area includes community spaces and amenities such as fitness facilities and collaborative workspaces, enhancing the overall employee experience. The move to the new location is anticipated to take place later this year.
