Is Candlewood Suites growing or shrinking?
Candlewood Suites doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #31 of 115 Hotels & Lodging brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a Candlewood Suites franchise?
We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $4.3M (52% above the typical Hotels & Lodging brand's $2.8M) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
