What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Sonesta Select Sonesta Essential's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were zero outlets reacquired from franchisees in 2023. This data is reflected in the Systemwide Outlet Summary tables for both Sonesta Select and Sonesta Essential.
Specifically, the table provides a breakdown of outlet activity, including openings, closures, re acquisitions, and sales to franchisees. For the year 2023, under the column "Outlets Reacquired From Franchisee," the value is 0 for both brands. This indicates that Sonesta Select Sonesta Essential did not buy back any franchised locations during that year.
This information is crucial for potential franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and relationship between the franchisor and its franchisees. A high number of re acquisitions could indicate potential issues with franchisee profitability or compliance, while a consistent zero, as in this case, suggests a stable franchise network.
