The Super 8 Brand
The Super 8 brand is the worlds largest franchiser of economy hotels.
As of 12/31/2003 there were 2,083 open and operating Super 8 franchises in Canada and
the United States.
The Super 8 motel franchise started with the first Super 8 motel
opening in Aberdeen, South Dakota in October, 1974. This original Super 8 started out
charging $8.88 per night. Now the average size of a Super 8 property is 61 rooms.
Super 8 is one of the largest and fastest growing economy lodging chains in North America.
Super 8 is also thankful to have such strong brand loyalty among it's guests. Now the
parent company of Super 8 motels, Cendant, is
introducing their TripRewards program, whereby guests can earn reward points at any
Cendant owned franchise. This translates to guests being able to earn points at many
different franchises, including Super 8, and over 6,000 individual hotels.
Canalta and the Super 8 Brand
Canalta has been aggressively working with and developing the Super
8 brand in Canada. In conjunction with
Superior Lodging Corp Canalta has acquired the exclusive rights for Super 8 franchise
development in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and northern and southern British Columbia. Canalta
currently operates ten Super 8 properties throughout the province, and is always exploring new
