In September 2020, Anna Scozzafava, then Vice President of extended stay brands, strategy and operations at Choice Hotels International, announced the launch of Everhome Suites, the company's thirteenth brand and a mid-scale extended stay offering. She stated that the first ground breaking for the brand took place in Corona, California, and that the company had two area agreements totaling 13 deals between Austin, Texas and Los Angeles County, California. Scozzafava said the brand was designed as a 100% new construction product to fill a "white space" in the mid-scale market, and she projected the company could open at least 500 Everhome Suites hotels over the next ten years. Scozzafava attributed the launch to research showing that seven-plus-night room nights represent 20% of demand while extended stay supply accounts for only 9%, describing this as a "tremendous opportunity." She noted that Choice Hotels had tripled its extended stay footprint in the prior two years and had recently opened its 400th extended stay property. She described Everhome Suites as offering spacious apartment-style rooms with fully equipped kitchens, designed to allow guests to maintain their routines while traveling. The first Everhome Suites was expected to open in 2021 in Corona, California.
