About this episode
Kelly Weiers shares insights on overcoming obstacles in expanding a business to a second location.
You’ve built a successful business, but now you’re staring at the opportunity to expand to a second location - and you’re terrified.

But imagine walking into your thriving second location one year later, watching your handpicked team serve customers while your original business continues to flourish. Kelly Weiers, CEO of Granite Rocks, reveals exactly how he navigated the three biggest obstacles to expansion and built a successful multi-location business. Discover the practical insights every entrepreneur needs before expanding, including how to find the right people, secure financing when banks say no, and know when to wait versus when to move.
