Travelodge hotels are an enormous brand with significant brand recognition. The blue and white signs are instantly recognizable, and Sleepy Bear is a beloved mascot.  They offer clean and comfortable rooms and amenities. They also have their TripRewards program to earn customers rewards for their service.  There are close to 500 Travelodge hotels throughout North America.

People looking for a Travelodge franchise will be working with Wyndham Worldwide Hotel franchises. With over 6500 hotels worldwide, this is a multi-national company that has the experience to address and support all issues that come up during the operation of a new franchise.  Wydham hotel franchises also are included in their TripRewards incentive program. This program serves more hotels across the globe than any other individual hotel’s reward program.  New Travelodge franchise owners will receive the benefit of Wyndham’s experience with their training program for new hotel owners. They also offer additional support above and beyond the initial training period so a new franchisee is never truly on his own.

Franchise operators receive the benefit of national marketing campaigns on behalf of Travelodge.  Sales specialists in a variety of markets will be available to the new franchise owner to help target his marketing campaigns.  They also will receive the benefit of being a part of the Travelodge online network which is constantly bringing in reservations to Travelodge branches all over the world as www.traveldoge.com  receives traffic in the high millions consistently.

The initial investment to take advantage of a Travelodge franchise opportunity can vary so greatly that it is very hard to predict. The initial franchise fee to the company is noted at $35,000. However, the costs of buying, renovating, and building a hotel are very difficult to predict. The variance in real-estate prices between different regional markets can vary drastically. The widest prediction offered is that the initial investment in a Travelodge franchise can vary anywhere between $365,000 and $5,400,000.

It has the potential to be a very high cost investment, but Travelodge franchises also offer quite good potential return on investment. With a recognized brand and support from the Wyndham Worldwide Hotel franchise, new franchise owners are well equipped.
