G6 Hospitality, under the Studio 6 and Motel 6 brands, reported that they opened 63 locations last year-all under franchise agreements. With 57 Motel 6 and six Studio 6 properties, the latest hotels account for 5,100 rooms.
“We opened a record number of franchises in 2012-a perfect way to celebrate the Motel 6 brand’s 50th anniversary and to kick off our new ownership by the Blackstone Group,” says Jim Amorosia, CEO of G6 Hospitality. “We will continue the aggressive growth of Motel 6 and Studio 6 in 2013 with 100 projected openings, thanks to the brands’ proven track record of success and results.”
Franchise locations make up about 50 percent of the Motel 6 and Studio 6 networks. The 2012 additions cover one Canadian province and more than 25 states.
