SLEEP INN franchise in Louisiana: what the public record shows
Franchisees of SLEEP INN in Louisiana have taken 6 SBA loans since 1991 (average $1,786,166)— 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 10.2% is the better guide. Its latest FDD Item 20 state table reports 8 franchised outlets in Louisiana (fiscal 2025) — about 0.17 per 100k residents.
