Sleep Inn Finishes Strong 2017 With Substantial Increase In Franchise Agreements

ROCKVILLE, Md.,–The Sleep Inn brand concluded a successful 2017 with a 25 percent increase in franchise agreements over the previous year. The brand’s story is resonating among developers after being told through a provocative marketing platform. Franchised by Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world’s largest hotel companies, the Sleep Inn brand has more than 525 properties open or in the pipeline globally. As interest in the brand continues to grow, there are several openings planned in major United States markets in 2018, including Denver, Fort Worth, Texas, Houston and Jacksonville, Fla.
