That's why chains with multiple locations have a better (but not great) chance because the losses can be spread among them. Good luck to this guy but isn't he the 3rd Mexican rest to take over that space after Crispers left.? Everyonme has a dream to own their own SMB.....then they wake up to reality (I write this from 25+ years of personal experience) back when things were good). Today the insurance costs alone can kill you.
Sad that people will sink their entire life savings into opening a restaurant with no idea of the economics involved.
