What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 4 hotels operating in Alabama at the start of 2022. This information is based on data the franchisor collected regarding the number of hotels at the start of the year.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the existing market presence of Embassy Suites in Alabama at that time. It's a snapshot of the brand's established footprint before any openings, terminations, or other changes occurred during 2022. The document further indicates that no hotels opened, terminated, or ceased operations for other reasons during 2022, so the year ended with the same number of hotels as it started with.
It is important to note that this data reflects only the number of hotels and does not provide insights into their performance, occupancy rates, or revenue. A prospective franchisee should conduct further due diligence to assess the market conditions and potential for success in Alabama, despite the fact that the number of hotels remained constant during the period covered by the FDD.
