What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 14 franchise transfers across all states in 2024. This information is detailed in Table No. 2, which specifically tracks transfers of franchised hotels to new owners, excluding transfers involving the franchisor.
The table provides a state-by-state breakdown of these transfers, offering transparency into the franchise network's ownership changes. For instance, in 2024, Texas saw 3 transfers, while states like California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, and Wisconsin each experienced 1 transfer. Oregon, Arizona, Illinois, Louisiana, and Oklahoma reported no transfers during the same year.
For a prospective Embassy Suites franchisee, this data indicates the level of activity in the resale market. A higher number of transfers might suggest a more liquid market for existing franchises, while a lower number could imply greater stability in ownership. It's important to note that transfers can occur for various reasons, including franchisee retirement, business performance, or strategic decisions. Investigating the reasons behind transfers in specific states could provide valuable insights for potential investors.
