Answer from 2025 FDD Document

  • 500.8 A. An Applicant granted conditional approval for a Property proposed for construction may apply for extensions of time related to the conditional approval so long as construction has not yet commenced. Extensions may be granted by Best Western in six (6) month increments. The total amount of time that may be allowed to begin construction shall be three (3) years from the date of conditional approval. Each such Applicant seeking an extension shall submit:

What This Means (2025 FDD)

I am unable to provide information on what is required if the street address is not yet assigned for a Best Western property, according to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document excerpts provided. The excerpts do discuss requirements for conditional approval for properties proposed for construction, including submitting progress reports on financing, architectural plans, zoning, and construction plans, as well as paying extension fees. However, the FDD excerpts do not specify what information is required if the street address is not yet assigned. A prospective franchisee should ask Best Western's franchise representatives directly about the specific requirements and procedures in cases where a street address has not yet been assigned to the property.
