How many Delta Hotels By Marriott outlets were opened in California during 2024?

According to Delta Hotels By Marriott's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one outlet opened in California during 2024. The table provided in Item 20 outlines the status of company-owned, managed, and leased outlets for the years 2022 to 2024, detailing the changes in outlet numbers for each state. This includes information on outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the final outlet count at the end of the year.

Specifically, for California, the table shows that there were two outlets at the start of 2024 and three outlets at the end of 2024. The 'Outlets Opened' column indicates that one new Delta Hotels By Marriott location was established in California during that year. This information is useful for potential franchisees as it provides insight into the brand's growth and activity in specific geographic areas. It also helps to understand the dynamics of outlet changes, such as openings, closures, and transfers.

It's important to note that the table includes footnotes clarifying what constitutes an 'outlet opening' or 'termination.' For instance, an outlet opening can include new outlets, conversions from managed to franchised, or conversions to the Delta Hotels By Marriott brand from another company brand. Similarly, terminations can include outlets that terminated before the expiration of their term or converted to another company brand. These nuances are crucial for accurately interpreting the data and understanding the overall health and movement of the Delta Hotels By Marriott franchise system.
