Build another FAT-ONE.
If McDonalds sold 1,000,000 Hamburgers in a year, at
just one location - but the demand was for 2,000,000 ..
Do you think McDonald's should just double the price
to profit - and keep up with customer demand. NO!

They open up a second restaurant - keep the Burgers
at the same price, and recoop the loss of the 2nd restaurant over time.
