FranchiseVerdict summary · 2026
A Everhome Suites franchise requires a total initial investment of $12.7M – $16.2M, including a $50K franchise fee and an ongoing 6.0% royalty[2]. This franchisor makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. Item 19 is voluntary under the FTC Franchise Rule, and this filing states that it makes none, so no revenue or earnings figures are disclosed. Declining to publish one is lawful and is not evidence of how the outlets perform. It does mean that less about this brand can be verified from its filing, and the FranchiseVerdict grade - an editorial assessment, not investment advice - reflects that.

ROI & LBO modelsSingle-unit · 25-unit portfolio · editable
Everhome Suites makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD - a voluntary item under the FTC Franchise Rule - so no unit revenue figures are disclosed. The return models need a revenue figure to start from, and the operating costs that turn gross sales into a profit are in no FDD. Enter your own and the calculator runs on your assumptions — nothing here is modelled until you do.

Financial Performance
No financial performance representation
This franchisor makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. Item 19 is voluntary under the FTC Franchise Rule, and this filing states that it makes none, so no revenue or earnings figures are disclosed.

It does mean that less about this brand can be verified from its filing, and the FranchiseVerdict grade - an editorial assessment, not investment advice - reflects that.

How Everhome Suites Compares
Category median of published Lodging brands that report the figure; the middle half spans the 25th to 75th percentile and n counts the brands behind it. Medians are used because a few very large systems pull an average far from the typical brand. Revenue is disclosed gross sales, not profit.

Risk analysis
FranchiseVerdict rating + FDD Items 3, 4, 8, 16, 21
Risk & Legal
Everhome Suites presents extreme risk: single-unit system under active litigation from parent company Choice Hotels, zero financial transparency, massive capital requirement, and no evidence of franchisee profitability in a crowded extended-stay segment.
Why this reads harsher than the B grade: the grade weighs financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency across the whole filing, while this summary lists individual flags without that weighting. The flags are worth checking with current owners; neither is investment advice.
Litigation (Item 3)
Subject: the franchisor is a named party (defendant).
Three pending matters: (1) Norma Knuth Canadian class action re destination marketing fees ($403M demand); (2) Jai Sai Baba multi-franchisee federal suit alleging discrimination/antitrust/RICO (stayed, sub-arbitration with DIP Hospitality pending award); (3) T&T Management breach of license/trade secrets claim. Section II discloses approximately 50+ royalty recovery and IP enforcement actions filed in 2023. Resolved cases include Wydredge (settled 2014), Sender Kohl ($85K settlement 2021), Highmark ($779K judgment against Choice 2024), and Dahya (net judgment in Choice's favor 2024).

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to open a Everhome Suites franchise?
The total investment to open a Everhome Suites franchise ranges from $12.7M – $16.2M, with an initial franchise fee of $50K. This includes real estate, equipment, inventory, and working capital as disclosed in their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
What do Everhome Suites franchise owners earn?
Everhome Suites makes no financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD - a voluntary item under the FTC Franchise Rule - so no unit revenue figures are disclosed. Declining to publish one is lawful and is not evidence of how the outlets perform. It does mean that less about this brand can be verified from its filing, and the FranchiseVerdict grade - an editorial assessment, not investment advice - reflects that. Item 20 of the FDD lists current and former franchisees; asking them directly is the standard way to fill this gap.
Who owns Everhome Suites?
Everhome Suites is franchised by Choice Hotels International, Inc.. Source: FDD Item 1, 2024 filing.
What is Item 19 in the Everhome Suites FDD?
The FDD section where a franchisor may disclose financial performance of its outlets. Disclosure is optional and formats vary; figures are typically gross sales, which is revenue before expenses, not profit. FranchiseVerdict extracts these figures directly from the Everhome Suites FDD and qualifies whose outlets they describe.
What is Everhome Suites's franchise failure rate?
SBA 7(a) loan charge-off data is not available for Everhome Suites (fewer than 10 loans on file). Charge-off rates are one way to gauge franchise risk, but not all franchise loans go through the SBA program. We recommend reviewing turnover and closure data in the FDD and speaking with current franchisees.
How many Everhome Suites franchise locations are there?

Is Everhome Suites a good franchise to buy?
FranchiseVerdict rates Everhome Suites as a B-grade franchise with a verdict score of 46 out of 100 (higher is better). The grade is a deterministic score built from six weighted dimensions — financial health, unit economics, unit growth, scale, legal, and transparency — then calibrated against SBA loan charge-off rates and FDD age. Transparency is one of the six, so a filing that discloses less scores lower on that dimension than one that discloses more. Our rating is based solely on publicly available FDD and government data; we recommend speaking with current franchisees before making any investment decision. This is not investment advice.
