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. These goods and services include proprietary items, items bearing the Baymont Inn Suites marks (such as signage), items impacting life/safety, and technology required by the System Standards.
Baymont Inn Suites franchisees can purchase other items for the Facility from any source, provided these items meet or exceed the System Standards. This allows franchisees some flexibility in sourcing goods and services, as long as they adhere to the brand's quality requirements.
During renovations, franchisees may purchase furniture, fixtures, equipment, and other supplies through Worldwide Sourcing Solutions, Inc.'s "Approved Supplier" program, an affiliate of Baymont Inn Suites. If a franchisee chooses to purchase certain design elements from a supplier that is not on the approved list, Baymont Inn Suites may charge a Custom Interior Design Review Fee, which is currently $6,000, to ensure compliance with interior design standards. This fee covers the review of custom interior design drawings.
