Cecil B. Day opened his first lodging in Tybee Island, Georgia, in 1970. From that point forward, Days Inns Worldwide has developed into a system of about 2,000 diversified inns all through the U.S. what's more, around the world, including a few inns that offer free breakfast and permit pets in select rooms.
Days Inn Worldwide is a piece of the Wyndham Worldwide group of lodgings which additionally incorporates Baymont Inns and Suites, Hawthorn Suites, Howard Johnson Int'l., Knights Franchise Systems, Microtel Inns and Suites, Ramada Worldwide, Super 8, Travelodge Hotels, Wingate by Wyndham, and Wyndham Hotels and Resorts.
NYLO has set the goal of having 50 hotels open or under construction by end of 2012. This includes both NYLO and XP by NYLO hotels. NYLO's growth plan will be accomplished by pursuing two avenues simultaneously: 1. Corporate owned, developed and operated hotels, and 2. Franchise agreements with third party owners, developers and operators. As a core part of its business plan, NYLO made the strategic decision not to launch the franchising until it had developed, constructed and operated at least a few corporately owned hotels in order to fully understand the product from a developer's perspective. NYLO will continue to corporately develop, own and operated additional hotels going forward; however, franchising will play an increasingly significant role in the brand's growth. NYLO first made the brands available for franchising in February 2008 and has filed a franchise disclosure document (FDD) in 47 states and is therefore licensed to sell franchises in 47 states. NYLO offers developers and franchisees an innovative concept that is efficient to construct and the personal support of its experienced senior management team.
