GrandStay Residential Suites franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: GrandStay Residential Suites does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for GrandStay Residential Suites — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (50% of travel & hospitality franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn GrandStay Residential Suites's FDD does contain are on this page.

GrandStay Residential Suites lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
We do not publish a litigation answer for GrandStay Residential Suites. Item 3 could not be read reliably from this particular filing, and a claim that a company has no legal history is not one to make on a failed parse — so we say we do not know instead. Item 3 of the FDD itself is the place to check; the methodology page explains what we do and do not machine-read.
GrandStay Residential Suites closures & failure rate
Before you sign, GrandStay Residential Suites will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what GrandStay Residential Suites's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a travel & hospitality of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. GrandStay Residential Suites's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Net franchised outlets moved +2 to 32 in the latest reported year.
Who owns GrandStay Residential Suites?
GrandStay Residential Suites's franchise is offered by GrandStay Hospitality, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at WI DFI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

GrandStay Residential Suites's most recently filed FDD (2026) names GrandStay Hospitality, LLC as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself.
