Econo Lodge Motel franchise in Vermont: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Econo Lodge Motel in Vermont have taken 7 SBA loans since 1991 (average $704,285)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 10.6% is the better guide.
