What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to purchase certain goods and services from approved suppliers. Baymont Inn Suites designates specific items, such as proprietary goods, items bearing their marks (like signage), goods impacting life/safety, and technology required by System Standards, that must be sourced from these approved suppliers. This ensures brand consistency and adherence to quality standards across all franchised locations.
However, franchisees have the flexibility to purchase other items needed for the facility from any source they choose, provided these items meet or exceed the System Standards set by Baymont Inn Suites. This allows franchisees some autonomy in sourcing decisions while maintaining the overall quality and standards of the Baymont Inn Suites brand.
Furthermore, Baymont Inn Suites offers an "Approved Supplier" program through its affiliate, Worldwide Sourcing Solutions, Inc., where franchisees can purchase furniture, fixtures, equipment, and other supplies needed during renovations. If a franchisee chooses to purchase certain design elements from a supplier not approved by Baymont Inn Suites, a Custom Interior Design Review Fee of $6,000 may be charged to review custom interior design drawings to ensure compliance with interior design standards. This provides franchisees with options for sourcing supplies while ensuring adherence to brand standards.
