History
The AmericInn Franchise was founded by Jim Graves, and the first location opened in 1979 in Rogers, Minnesota.[3] By 1990, there were more than 20 AmericInn properties located in Minnesota and Wisconsin. In 1994, AmericInn began franchising with the help of Wyman Nelson, an entrepreneur known for expanding the Perkins Restaurant and Bakery chain in the 1960s and 1970s.[4]
Expansion outside the Midwestern United States began in 2000.[5] AmericInn has 240 motels,[6]
