What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the net change in the number of managed locations during 2022 was -1. This indicates a decrease of one managed location during that year.
For a prospective franchisee, this information provides insight into the operational structure of Baymont Inn Suites. The document distinguishes between franchised facilities, which are independently owned and operated, and managed facilities, which are operated under a Management Agreement with an affiliate of Baymont Inn Suites. The decrease in managed locations suggests a strategic shift, potentially towards a greater emphasis on franchised operations.
It's important to note that while the number of managed locations decreased, the number of franchised locations increased by 15 during the same period. This could indicate a preference for the franchise model over direct management. A potential franchisee should consider this trend and evaluate how it might affect the support and resources available to them as a franchisee.
