�Nuts and Bolts� Information for Developers |
MILWAUKEE, Wis., September 7, 2001� In a move
that embodies its �Easy to Do Business With� business philosophy, Baymont
Inns & Suites, a leading mid-priced segment hotel brand, today announced
that it has launched a new, state-of-the-art Web site dedicated to the
hotel franchise community. The new site, www.baymontfranchise.com,
provides hotel developers with easy-to-access, comprehensive information
about the brand to simplify and speed the development process and also
serves as a source of up-to-the-minute information about the company for
current franchisees.
Divided into seven easy-to-navigate sections, www.baymontfranchise.com is a single information-rich site about the company and the Baymont brand that also offers unique capabilities. The �Cost Estimator� software program allows prospective franchisees to estimate the construction cost of a Baymont Inn & Suites hotel in a variety of configurations in a specified city. In addition, visitors can download license applications, worksheets and all the legal forms associated with franchising a Baymont Inns & Suite hotel. �Franchise interest in the Baymont brand continues to expand, even in this challenging economic environment,� said Daniel Daniele, President, Baymont Franchises International. �Our new franchisee Web site provides the kind of �nuts and bolts� information that developers want and need to begin the development process or to move it forward. The result is that properties are brought on line more quickly, which can translate into significant cost savings. �Virtually all the elements of our franchise development process are available on the Web site and can be researched with just a few �clicks of the mouse.� We continue to look for ways to streamline the process and remove any impediments to development, which underscores our commitment to being easy to do business with.� Information about the company is divided into the following sections:
More than 95 percent of the Web site is open to the public. The remaining sections, including proprietary architectural drawings, logos and related information, may be accessed with a special pass code available to Baymont franchisees. Baymont Inns & Suites is a division of the Milwaukee-based Marcus Corporation (NYSE: MCS). Certain matters discussed in this press release are "forward-looking statements" intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
