What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Sonesta Simply Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, across all states, there were zero locations reacquired by the franchisor in 2022. This information is based on the table summarizing the status of franchised outlets from 2022 to 2024.
Specifically, the table provides a breakdown by state and year, detailing the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, outlets reacquired from franchisees, outlets closed, outlets sold to franchisees, and outlets at the end of the year. For the year 2022, the 'Outlets Reacquired From Franchisee' column consistently shows '0' across all listed states, indicating that no franchised locations were reacquired during that year.
This data point is crucial for potential franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and relationship between Sonesta Simply Suites and its franchisees. A high number of re acquisitions could signal potential issues within the franchise system, while a consistent zero, as in this case, suggests a stable franchise network.
