Ever wonder if a big-brand hotel franchise like Wingate by Wyndham can deliver in a crowded midscale market? Item 19 lays out revenue snapshots from existing units, while a hefty stack of SBA loans hints at serious investor backing. But with flat location counts year-over-year, does the data signal steady reliability or a need for caution—what's hiding in the full financial picture?
Item 7 in the 2025 FDD pegs total investment at $11,253,228 to $16,142,211 for a typical 99-room new-build or conversion, covering construction, FF&E, and pre-opening costs under Wyndham's standards. Upfront franchise fee hits $36,000, followed by 5.5% royalty on room revenue, 3% system assessment for marketing/reservations, plus $734-$1,050 monthly for PMS support. Item 19 discloses earnings, showing average gross room revenues that reflect mid-market performance for business/leisure stays with amenities like free breakfast and fitness centers—key for evaluating cash flow after these ongoing fees eat into margins.
System metrics reveal 189 U.S. locations as of 2024, stuck at the same count from 2023 for 0% growth, alongside 11 terminations and 10 transfers—moderate churn for hospitality. Yet 21 projected new units and 46 SBA loans averaging $3,558,352 signal lender confidence and expansion potential. Litigation notes flag contract breaches and fee disputes, typical for hotels but worth scrutinizing; overall, this suits deep-pocketed operators chasing Wyndham's reservation system strength over rapid scaling.
