The East Valley got a new place for freshly-baked bread last month when Rise Up Bakery opened its doors at 861 N. Higley Road in Gilbert.
The bakery comes courtesy of husband and wife team Jay and Danielle Lunt, who owned a bakery in Las Vegas before picking up and moving to Phoenix to be closer to family. Now, after years spent out of the kitchen, the couple says they want to return to the baking biz.
