Multiple retailers, restaurants and other businesses recently opened, closed or began planning new locations in the north suburbs of Indianapolis. Here’s a rundown:

Rise’n Roll

Middlebury-based Rise’n Roll Bakery opened Wednesday at 16030 Spring Mill Road in Westfield, giving the growing chain its 16th location.

Rise’n Roll is an Amish-style bakery that was founded in 2001. It is best known for its cinnamon caramel doughnuts, which have been named America’s Best Donuts by The Underground Donut Tour the past three years. It was also recently voted the best doughnut shop in Indiana by Visit Indiana.

Along with doughnuts, Rise’n Roll also sells cookies, pies, cinnamon rolls, breads, and cheeses.

A grand opening celebration is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. Friday when the first person in line will receive 52 coupons that are each good for a free dozen doughnuts. The second through fifth guests in line will win 12 coupons and the next 10 will get one coupon. Remaining customers (up to 100) will receive a coupon good for one donut.

Franchise owner Casey McGaughey also operates Rise’n Roll locations in Fishers, Greenwood and Nora. There are 11 Rise’n Roll locations throughout northern Indiana, and an additional central Indiana bakery is open in Avon.

The bakery will open in a 15,000-square-foot retail center at Spring Mill Station where Face Founderie, B’s Bagels, Chi Nails and My Gym Children’s Fitness Center are tenants.

Rise’n Roll is open 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday and closed Sundays.
