COBBLESTONE SUITES Franchise Analysis

Cobblestone Suites carves a niche in upper-midscale hotels for small towns and suburbs often overlooked by big chains. Item 19 lays bare financial performance across its network, paired with a decade of franchising that has built quiet momentum. Yet with terminations barely registering and bold new unit forecasts, does this spell reliable returns or hidden market risks?

Item 7 details a franchise fee of $45,000, but the real spread is in total investment: $99,999 minimum for conversions up to $2,356,999 for ground-up builds, reflecting flexibility for different capital levels. Royalties hit $3.75 per room per day—equating to $6,075 monthly for a typical 54-room property—plus $0.75 per room marketing ($1,215/mo) and tech stack fees ($1,300-$1,360/mo including CRS, PMS, email, rewards). Item 19 disclosure is a green flag, offering gross revenue data to model profits after these fees, which run 5-7% of room revenue in a category where averages hover 4-6%.

System vitality shines: 115 locations in 2023 swelled to 121 in 2024 (+5%), with 19 new units projected amid 7 transfers but just 4 terminations and 1 non-renewal—far below volatile hotel norms. This low churn suggests strong operator satisfaction since 2013 inception from Neenah, WI HQ. For investors, the wide cost range favors conversions in population-3,000+ spots serving business travelers; steady growth beats contraction peers, but capex heft demands volume to offset fees—ideal if you spot underserved demand.
