Our spot is killing it; want a second one 15 miles away. Found this eBoost Partners guide on financing a second restaurant location: [link to second location page]. Stresses using first location's cash flow, having a manager ready, avoiding cannibalization. Options like term loans, equipment, lines of credit. Anyone expanded with non-bank funding like this?

Opening a second spot is exciting, but financing it is where things get real. I’ve been researching restaurant expansion loans and found a helpful breakdown around opening new location options. What I like is the focus on using proven cash flow from the first restaurant rather than starting from zero again. It made me rethink how to structure build-out, deposits, and early staffing without killing the original location’s cash flow. Definitely something to study carefully before jumping in, but it feels more realistic than relying only on savings or banks.

Opening a second location is huge, but financing is key. Using first-restaurant cash flow for expansion loans makes sense—just plan build-out and staffing carefully to protect the original operation.
