Super 8 Motel History

Super 8 Motel was founded in 1972 by Dennis Brown as a motel referral system, which was soon dissolved and replaced with a franchise operation in 1973. The first Super 8 Motel was opened in 1974 in Aberdeen, South Dakota. It had 60 rooms.

Super 8 has a frequent traveler program, the V.I.P club, introduced in 1976, which grew to over 7.6 million members. The V.I.P Club program was purchased by Hospitality Franchise Systems in 1993, which later became Cendant.

Super 8 Motels are Franchises.

Super 8 began in 1974 with one modest motel in Aberdeen, SD, offering rooms for $8.88 per night. More than 30 years later, Super 8 has become a roadside institution offering guests consistently clean rooms and friendly service at over 2000 motels across North America.
