Of these, 547 were franchised, 0 were managed, and 0 were company-owned. This number reflects a net increase of 8 outlets during 2024. At the start of 2024, there were 539 outlets. During the year, 37 new outlets opened, 2 terminations occurred, and 27 ceased operations for other reasons.
It is important to note the changes in outlet numbers from year to year. While 37 new Baymont Inn Suites locations opened in 2024, the net increase was only 8 due to terminations and other closures. A prospective franchisee should investigate the reasons for closures and terminations to better understand the health and stability of the franchise system. Understanding why 27 locations ceased operations for 'other reasons' could provide valuable insight.
For a prospective Baymont Inn Suites franchisee, these figures highlight the importance of location selection and operational management. While the brand is expanding, closures can occur, impacting overall profitability and brand reputation. Reviewing the performance of existing franchises and understanding the factors that contribute to their success or failure is crucial during the due diligence process.
