US-based 3LB Restaurant Concepts has secured a $5.3m credit facility from Pacific Mercantile Bancorp’s subsidiary Pacific Mercantile Bank.

The restaurant chain will use the funding to restructure its existing debt and support expansion efforts.

3LB Restaurant Concepts CEO Zak Higson said: “By focusing on providing guests with high-end dining and imbibing options at value-driven prices, we have continually introduced new concepts that have resonated well with our target market.

“We believe we have excellent opportunities to continue our expansion and we were impressed with Pacific Mercantile Bank’s ability to support our vision.

“In addition to providing a customised credit facility to meet our financing needs, Pacific Mercantile Bank’s Horizon Analytics tool was extremely valuable in helping us evaluate various growth scenarios and identify the strategy that will be most beneficial to growing the value of our company in the coming years.”

As part of the deal, Pacific Mercantile Bank will also provide depository products and treasury management services to the restaurant chain.
