What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one transfer of a franchised hotel to a new owner in Wisconsin during 2024. This information is detailed in Table No. 2, which tracks transfers of franchised hotels to new owners, excluding transfers back to the franchisor.
For a prospective franchisee, this data point provides insight into the ownership changes within the Embassy Suites system. A single transfer in Wisconsin during 2024 suggests relative stability in ownership within that state, though it's important to consider the overall number of hotels in Wisconsin to contextualize this transfer rate.
It's also worth noting the total number of transfers across all states. In 2024, there were 14 transfers in total, compared to 5 in 2023 and 9 in 2022. This broader trend could indicate changing market conditions or franchisee decisions to exit or enter the Embassy Suites system. Prospective franchisees should investigate the reasons behind these transfers to better understand the potential risks and opportunities associated with the franchise.
