We're One for Three!
Typically, one for three wouldn't be such a great record. However, for us it means that for the third consecutive year, Hampton Hotels is ranked the #1 franchise business by Entrepreneur magazine. Despite some healthy competition (Subway, McDonald's, etc.), Hampton was chosen yet again as the best investment from among the 500 leading franchise businesses ranked. This "three-peat" breaks a record for a hotel brand in Entrepreneur's annual "Top 500 Franchises" survey history:
"Two years ago, when Hampton Hotels knocked Subway off its perch atop the Franchise 500©, the general reaction was one of mild surprise. When it stayed up there the following year, it seemed like a fluke. But now that Hampton has landed at the pinnacle for a third year in a row, it's starting to sink in. This brand--which builds and converts hotels in a process that can take years of planning and millions of dollars--is doing something right, something that even spry little janitorial companies, burger franchises and other quick-build concepts can't. It's growing, creating long-lasting customer loyalty and increasing unit revenue year after year.
