Cobblestone inn & suites franchise investment pitch deck 2026

Why now?

Local demand for modern lodging is peaking as older motels fail to meet the standards of university visitors and corporate partners. This unit captures that shift by providing a professional environment that currently doesn't exist in the local market. Timing is everything in a shifting market.

Market Opportunity

• University expansion needs
• Corporate travel growth
• Aging local competition

What is the solution?

The unit offers a 'big city quality' experience with a small-town feel, featuring a 24-hour convenience market and a high-end beer lounge. This combination meets the needs of late-arriving professionals and university guests who want more than just a bed. We sell a premium experience, not just a room.

Unit Offerings

• Premium lounge facility
• 24-hour retail market
• Modern room standards

Who is the customer?

The primary target includes university-bound travelers, regional business partners, and rodeo professionals. With Year 2 revenue projected at $2,534,000, the local opportunity is robust enough to support rapid scaling and consistent occupancy. Capturing the university crowd is the key to stability.

Target Segments

• University guest speakers
• Regional corporate partners
• Rodeo event participants

How does it make money?

Revenue flows from room rentals, lounge sales, and the convenience market, with room rentals alone projected to hit $760,000 in the first year. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) grows to $2,433,000 by Year 5 as the unit matures. At $3.9M in annual sales, efficiency is your best friend.

Revenue Streams

• High-yield room rentals
• Lounge beverage sales
• Market retail revenue

What is the edge?

Most local competitors are dated motels with limited amenities and no brand backing. Our edge is the national brand loyalty program and a superior physical plant in a prime location near major highway loops. A loyalty program is a moat that local motels can't cross.

Strategic Edge

• Brand loyalty program
• Prime highway visibility
• Modern facility standards

What is the funding plan?

Total startup capital covers the $45,000 franchise fee and $3,500,000 for building construction. Reaching breakeven by March 2026 is a key milestone that proves the immediate demand for high-quality lodging in the area. Hitting breakeven in 90 days is a powerful signal to investors. Finance: update unit break-even and payback model by Friday.

Funding and Milestones

• Construction capital use
• Franchise fee payment
• 3-month breakeven target
