Company Achieves Goal amidst Aggressive Franchise Growth

January 24, 2011 // Franchising.com // Dallas, Texas – Motel 6, known for providing guests with a clean, comfortable room and great service for the lowest price of any national chain, announced the achievement of a major company milestone with the opening of the network's 1,100th property. The Motel 6 and Studio 6 network has seen aggressive and consistent growth since the opening of its 1,000th property just two years ago in January, 2009. The landmark 1,100th property was celebrated with the opening of a new Motel 6 franchise in Cleburne, Texas.

Motel 6 achieved the goal largely through a multi-year period of aggressive franchise growth in which the tested and successful Motel 6 and Studio 6 business models attracted a record number of prospective franchisees to the brands. The company will continue to expand aggressively and selectively while respecting its commitment to quality across its network.

"The continued success of the Motel 6 and Studio 6 brands demonstrates what strong focus can accomplish when combined with a network-wide focus on improving and maintaining quality, consistency and great service for our guests," said Olivier Poirot, CEO for Accor North America, Motel 6 and Studio 6. "We are very proud, along with our franchisees, to offer the excellent price value of Motel 6 and Studio 6 at more locations than ever for our valued guests."
