Unsatisfied with Super 8's opening of new hotels near his hotels, a franchisee of Super 8 who owns three Super 8 hotels in Hangzhou, has now joined Hanting Hotels, a rival of Super 8.<\/p>\n
According to news reports on China Finance Online, the franchisee was among the first batch of Super 8's supporters in China. When Super 8 entered the Chinese market in 2004, he opened Hangzhou Hemei Super 8 Hotel in the same year and reportedly assisted Super 8 in opening up to six other hotels in Hangzhou.<\/p>\n
The franchisee has told local media that he was the first real franchisee for Super 8 in China and had signed a three-year exclusive agreement with Super 8 China on opening hotels in Hangzhou in 2005 in which they agreed that Super 8 must consult with him when opening a new hotel in Hangzhou. However, in April and July this year, without his knowledge, Super 8 reportedly opened two new hotels which were said to be too close to his own hotels, which infuriated him and resulted in his shifting to Hanting Hotels.<\/p>\n
As the agreement he signed with Super 8 did not cover compensation in case of infringement, the franchisee said he might not get compensated even though Super 8 violated the exclusive agreement. However, he said he had been asked by Super 8 to pay tens of thousands of yuan as he was accused of breaching the agreement by joining Hanting. He says he is preparing for a court hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
