What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Sonesta Select Sonesta Essential's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several states had zero outlets at the end of 2024. Specifically, Alabama, Delaware, and Illinois each reported zero outlets at the end of 2024.
It is important to note that while these states had zero outlets at the end of 2024, some of them had outlets in previous years that were either sold or closed. For example, Alabama had one outlet at the start of 2022, which was then sold, resulting in zero outlets by the end of that year.
Prospective franchisees should consider these trends when evaluating opportunities in these states. Understanding the history of outlet openings, closures, and transfers can provide valuable insights into the potential market and challenges in specific regions.
