What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crowne Plaza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no hotels in Alaska that ceased operations for other reasons during 2023. The provided table in Item 20 outlines the changes in the number of outlets for each state over the years 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Specifically, for Alaska in 2023, the table shows that there was one outlet at the start of the year, no outlets opened, and zero terminations, non-renewals or re acquisitions by the licensor. The column 'Ceased Operations Other Reasons' indicates 0 for Alaska in 2023, meaning no hotels closed for reasons other than those specifically listed. At the end of 2023, there was still one outlet in operation.
This data point is relevant for prospective franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and performance of Crowne Plaza hotels in Alaska. A history of closures for 'other reasons' might warrant further investigation to understand the factors that could lead to unexpected business cessation. However, in this case, the absence of such closures in Alaska for 2023 could be seen as a positive indicator.
