What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Crowne Plaza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one Crowne Plaza hotel opened in Florida during 2023. The table provided in Item 20 outlines outlet changes across various states and years. In 2023, Florida saw one new Crowne Plaza location open.
However, the same table also indicates a decrease in the total number of outlets in Florida. Specifically, the number of outlets at the start of 2023 was eight, and the number of outlets at the end of the year was zero. This discrepancy suggests that while one new location opened, other locations closed, were terminated, or not renewed, resulting in a net decrease.
Prospective franchisees should investigate the reasons behind the closures and non-renewals to understand the market dynamics in Florida. Understanding why existing locations ceased operations can provide valuable insights into potential challenges and opportunities in the region.
