I only have one location, it started as a rented plot and grew out of proffits initially to the 1/4 mainland SIM I have today. I'm now going to look at probably some smaller satellite specialised locations to rent perhaps, based on your advise. This looks to be a great idea for relevant expansion perhaps.

Kudos to the work you put in to run yours and thanks for sharing.
