Frequently Asked Questions

Is Econo Lodge growing or shrinking?

Econo Lodge's SBA loan count grew +88% year-over-year, suggesting rising financed expansion. This reflects SBA-backed financing activity, not necessarily total unit count -- see the methodology page for what this does and doesn't measure.

How much does it cost to open a Econo Lodge franchise?

We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $1.7M (39% below the typical Hotels & Lodging brand's $2.8M) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for Econo Lodge?

1 of 147 SBA loans to Econo Lodge franchisees (0.7%) have been charged off since FY2020, compared to 0.1% across all Hotels & Lodging brands.
