First of all congratulations on a somewhat successful B&M.
Anytime you can step back and remove yourself from the day to day operation of running a storefront is time to consider what has made it successful.
Is it the products, the personal service, the location, the convenience or what? Figure this one out.
Is there any way to replicate it without the personal involvement running it?
Identify the processes and procedures that would allow you to delegate the day to day management of the biz and you might possibly have an opportunity to multiply the income stream quicker than you might think by the rule of scale.
Or,
Recognize that your 'heart' really isn't in running and developing a multi store business and consider other opportunities and put your focus there.
Above all. Don't waste you time. It sounds like you understand the 'how' to make the first one work, now you've just got to figure out your personal 'why'.
Good luck!
