In Maryland, how many Best Western outlets were transferred in 2022?

According to Best Western's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero transfers of Best Western outlets in Maryland during 2022. This information is based on the table that tracks the number of transfers of outlets from members to new owners, excluding transfers to Best Western itself. The table provides a state-by-state breakdown of these transfers for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024.

For a prospective franchisee, a low number of transfers could indicate stability within the Best Western franchise system in Maryland. It may suggest that existing franchisees are generally satisfied with their businesses and are not looking to sell or transfer their locations. However, it could also mean that there is a limited market for buying existing franchises in that state.

It's important to note that this data only reflects transfers to new owners and does not include instances where Best Western reacquired the outlet. Reviewing the overall number of Best Western locations in Maryland that changed hands for any reason, as shown in a separate table detailing outlet counts, can provide a more complete picture of franchise turnover. A prospective franchisee should investigate the reasons behind any transfers or closures to fully understand the market dynamics in Maryland.
