"When Everhome first launched in January 2022, it was the first new midscale extended stay brand to come onto the scene in nearly a decade. We purposefully designed the brand with input from our biggest WoodSpring owners and developers to drive high performance," said Matt McElhare, vice president for extended stay brands at Choice Hotels. "Now, our developers are recognizing the complementary opportunity, pairing Everhome and WoodSpring on a shared site, which enables them to appeal to a wide range of extended stay guests. Everhome Newnan is our first of six shared site projects planned across the country."
The current demand for purpose-built extended stay products is twice the supply, and the category continues to garner attention as one of the hottest in the hospitality industry. With its complementary dual-site strategy, Choice expects guest demand for Everhome to come from a higher portion of discretionary leisure travelers, traveling healthcare workers, hospital patients, and IT and skilled workers who prefer higher-end amenities. For the economy WoodSpring brand, Choice expects guest demand to continue to come from blue-collar business travelers such as construction crews and others.
"We decided to build an Everhome next to our WoodSpring based on the latter's strong performance, way ahead of our initial projections, and because there is a ton of demand in the Newnan market," said Turnstone Group CEO Chip Johnson. "We are bullish in this environment based on the performance, the lean operating model, the fantastic Choice Hotels team, and the extended stay category's resiliency. We look forward to adding more of Choice's extended stay brands to our portfolio."
