New Soft Brand Provides New Franchising Opportunities

October 05, 2017 // Franchising.com // Columbus, OH - Expanding its brand portfolio and positioning for long term growth, Red Roof has launched The Red Collection, the first soft brand in the company’s 44-year history. Drawing upon market research to shape the company’s brand strategy, Red Roof will enter a new sector with The Red Collection: city center properties that continue to re-define the upscale economy segment the company created with Red Roof PLUS+®. These upscale economy to midscale hotels will be unique and reflect the local vibe and culture of the city centers in which they are located and will offer new franchising opportunities.

“The launch of The Red Collection, a new soft brand will provide access to new markets and audiences and further brand exposure in the economy sector alongside Red Roof PLUS+,” says Andrew Alexander, President, Red Roof. “This new offering will broaden, diversify and elevate our brand and attract new and existing franchisees to invest in a sound brand, with some of the lowest fees in the industry, with a solid track record and a stellar management team, the ingredients that drive success.”

Red Roof created the upscale economy segment in 2014 with the launch of Red Roof PLUS+, a successful brand extension that gives guests upgraded amenities at an economic rate just slightly above those at Red Roof Inn properties. Red Roof’s research found that there is an opportunity with urban lifestyle travelers who specifically want city center locations for more of a value price, including upgraded décor and accessible locations in the hearts of cities they love. Red Roof is perfectly poised to extend its footprint and enter this segment to fill the gap in the market with our new Red Collection.

“The Red Collection gives existing and new franchisees an opportunity to diversify and invest in unique city-center hotels,” says Phil Hugh, Chief Development Officer, Red Roof. “Our new soft brand provides the opportunity for franchisees to gain new customers, while simultaneously drawing some of our existing audience to a new hotel experience in new locations, yet still at affordable price points, creating additional demand for the brand.”

The first property under The Red Collection will be The St. Clair Hotel™ in Downtown Chicago, other cities under consideration for The Red Collection include New York, Las Vegas, Charlotte and Austin.
