Gulfport Staff.jpgThe Value Place network is rapidly expanding.  We are excited to share with you that over the next nine months, we'll break ground on more than 100 new Value Place extended stay hotels in cities including Brimfield, OH, Ft. Walton Beach, FL, and Evansville, IN.  Nearly 50 extended stay hotels are under construction right now, and 68 are open in 19 states.  Check out the below photo of our Value Place staff at our Gulfport, MS, hotel dedication.  If you'll be in Gulfport over the holidays visiting family, consider staying with us.  Unless, of course, you'd rather sleep on Grandma's couch.

Recognizing America's Heroes

Posted by gkossover on November 9, 2007 at 3:15 PM

I am Greg Kossover, CEO of Value Place.  November 11 is Veterans Day.  On behalf of everyone at Value Place, I would like to sincerely thank the brave men and women of our Armed Forces for protecting our country and enabling all of us to enjoy the freedoms we have today.

Value Place employs dozens of veterans, and we also have several extended stay hotels located near U.S. military bases in cities such as Junction City, KS; Fayetteville, NC; Killeen, TX; and Jacksonville, FL.  We are proud to serve our American heroes and their families in these communities by offering them quality, affordable lodging.

In observance of Veterans Day, Value Place will honor our Value Place vets during a special celebration at our home office in Wichita, KS.  How will you or your company honor our nation's troops and veterans?  I invite you to post a comment and share your plans.

As you consider ways to honor our service men and women, check out the Department of Veterans Affairs website.  Some really interesting information is published on the site.  I particularly enjoyed reading the bit on Veterans Day history and the Patriotic Fact Sheet.   

 
Best wishes,

Greg

Trophy Club.jpgFrost may be on the pumpkin, but Value Place development is sure heating up!  Over the past three years, we've opened 66 extended stay hotels in 18 states, and hundreds more will be popping up in cities near you over the next three years. 

Speaking of openings, so far this fall we celebrated ten grand openings in cities including Trophy Club, TX; Ocala, FL; Montgomery, AL; Springdale, AR (opened on Halloween!); and Colorado Springs, CO. 

To the right is a snapshot from our Trophy Club, TX, grand opening celebration. 

Have you ever been to Trophy Club?  We hear there are great golf courses in and around the city.  If you're in the area, we hope you'll stay with us.  Don't forget your clubs!
