AmericInn Ends Year with Great Development Results

Led by a portfolio of hotels from The Summit Group based in Sioux Falls, SD and two new construction projects executed by Dave Harchanko and Truman Howell with the Apollo group, we announced today that the company has doubled the number of executed deals in 2011 over 2010, and has posted its best development cycles in 5 years.  As the company looks to grow the chain through national expansion, the AmericInn brand continues to see strong demand in and around its stronghold Midwest states.  We will maintain our strategic development efforts on a national scale, however with our overwhelming Midwest dominance (AmericInn has 146 hotels in MN, IA and WI alone), we expect to continue to see our greatest strength in the central portion of the US.  Growing just to get bigger is not the company’s primary strategic focus, but  rather to add high quality conversions with an enhanced emphasis on new construction. This laser-like focus on quality properties limits the overall number of conversion candidates, but we are willing to take some short term sacrifices for long term brand stability and performance.
