Griesbach spoke on this long-held dream of bringing a Cobblestone to the city and celebrated the location in Waukesha’s picturesque downtown. “…there’s just so many reasons for people to come to the area,” Griesbach said, “park their car, stay, and get around and enjoy everything that this area has to offer”.

March 10, 2026 – Neenah, WI – Cobblestone Hotels celebrated the groundbreaking of their new hotel in the city of Stratford, TX.
The ceremony featured speakers from various local organizations such as the City of Stratford, Frontier Bank, the Sherman County Economic Development Corporation, and the investment group behind Stratford Texas Hotel, LLC. Enthusiastic members of the community also showed up to show their support for this new hotel, as did leadership from Cobblestone Hotels. All gathered alongside busy U.S. highway 287 at the site of the future hotel to discuss the bright future of Stratford and the big role that this hotel will play in supporting the continued development of the city.
This project demonstrated a massive group effort between the city, area economic development associations, local investors, out of state investors, and Cobblestone Hotels to establish a reliable lodging option in the city that will act as a catalyst for new economic growth and support that growth for years to come. Multiple speakers shared their thoughts on the need for a hotel in Stratford, such as Wesley Miller, one of the local investors in the hotel. Miller praised Cobblestone’s business plan as being a great fit for Stratford, particularly the brand’s dedication to the development of small-town America. Reflecting on the journey, Miller stated, ”Too often, Stratford has fallen short because we resist change, and newcomers.” The hotel would not be possible without the cooperation of multiple future-thinking entities within the tight-knit community that have come together to take this large step towards making their dreams for Stratford a reality.
Jeremy Griesbach, President of Development for Cobblestone Hotels, shared his thanks with the city for being the home to Cobblestone’s fifth location in the state of Texas. Cobblestone Hotels hopes to continue its expansion in the state and farther into the Southwestern United States as well.

December 18, 2025 – Neenah, WI – Cobblestone Hotels celebrated the grand opening and official ribbon cutting ceremony for their new hotel in Eaton, Ohio. The ceremony took place in the lobby of the newly opened hotel, with representatives from various area organizations such as the Preble County Development Partnership, City of Eaton, and members of the Cobblestone Hotels corporate team showing up to support the hotel and reflect on what this new endeavor means for the future of Eaton.
Justin Sommer, Director of Economic Development for Preble County, shared that there has been a need in the community for a hotel like this
for a long time, to support local Eaton businesses as well as the many social events that take place in Eaton year-round. “This hotel will service a huge need in our community” Sommers said, “instead of those dollars going to Richmond or to Dayton, we get to keep those in our community, so we are really excited about the multiplier effect that this will have”.
Eaton is home to dozens of restaurants, shops, educational & recreational organizations, and other small businesses that will benefit from the presence of a hotel to keep visitors in town for longer. Sharing his vision for the hotel from the perspective of the city, Brad Collins, City Manager for the City of Eaton, noted that “Most importantly, it represents continued progress and growth, helping us enhance the overall quality of life for our residents”. In serving not only the needs of citizens, but also the needs of the business and organizations that call Eaton home, the hotel represents another avenue for the city to collect revenue and continue investing it into community initiatives and future projects.
The addition of this hotel also serves as a marker of growth for Cobblestone Hotels, with this being the fifth location in Ohio and the second opening in the state for the brand this year. Jeremy Griesbach, President of Development with Cobblestone Hotels, shared his enthusiasm for the growth of the brand and extended his thanks to all teams involved that had to juggle many moving parts to bring this project to fruition.

November 14, 2025 – Neenah, WI – The Cobblestone brand conference kicked off this year in Orlando, Florida as owners, operators, and the Cobblestone Hotels leadership team gathered at the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Hotel on November 2nd and 3rd. The significance of Florida, and specifically Orlando, as the location of this year’s conference was not lost on attendees, as this was a favorite place of the late founder of Cobblestone Hotels – Brian Wogernese. It seemed fitting that the overarching topics of this year’s conference were company culture and a return to the fundamentals of the brand, as many of the discussions focused around maintaining Cobblestone’s identity in the face of constant change and remaining steadfast in promoting brand directives that will not only catapult Cobblestone into the future, but also build on and protect the standards that the franchise was built on.
Conversations About Culture
This year saw a refreshing return to conversation about the process of consciously creating and maintaining a culture that stays true to the small-town values and unique franchising structure that Cobblestone offers.
Cobblestone’s focus on growing alongside small communities remains one of the strongest selling points of the franchise. While complications caused by industry costs, operational challenges, and managing the growth of the brand in the face of an economic ecosystem that is constantly demanding more and bigger, Cobblestone leadership is conscious of the need to remain flexible while also remaining constant and true to the ideals that the brand was founded on.
While the franchise works to maintain its community-first culture, the brand also brought in keynote speakers Lucy Lantis and Meridith Elliott Powell to provide attendees with tools to take back to their hotels so that they too can actively participate in the process of building a culture, as leaders, that employees will feel a sense of belonging in.
Managing Growth; Maintaining Values
An overarching topic throughout many of the segments led by Cobblestone Hotels leadership was a return to the fundamentals of the brand, such as bolstering brand standards and brand identifiers, and shifting their focus on growing inward rather than outward.
From a development perspective, Cobblestone Hotels is continuing to pursue projects in communities that have a need for lodging. Since the 2024 conference, Cobblestone celebrated the openings of 8
locations and announced the signing of three more. Cobblestone Hotels President of Development Jeremy Griesbach also teased six additional signings that are expected by the end of the first quarter in 2026. Along with this new growth, Griesbach announced the brand’s intent to return to basics, including turning focus inward towards the hotels that are currently in operation and exploring creative ways to promote expansion from what currently exists in the framework of the franchise. Part of this initiative includes the intent to market the Main Street brand as independent from the standard hotel prototype, in an effort to capture yet another niche in the hospitality industry and allow Cobblestone to continue building recognition in the larger markets that they currently inhabit.
From the perspective of brand standards, 2025 saw the return of the full quality assurance visit brand wide, and a focus on brand integrity that will continue into the next year of quality assurance. Part of Cobblestone’s dedication to brand integrity includes the enforcement and implementation of property improvement plans, which serve to revitalize hotels that have been in operation for years and are beginning to see the effects of this wear throughout the property. Another program that was recently launched is Cobblestone Coffee and Connections, which is a collaborative, virtual meeting space dedicated to connecting properties with each other and their brand representative, allowing operators to ask questions about brand topics and discuss and share their experiences with their fellow general managers.
Though this return to basics is expected to remain a focus in 2025-2026, this does not override the brand’s dedication to growing with the times and exploring new partnerships and technologies to better serve their hotels and their communities. There are multiple programs that were teased at the 2024 Brand Conference that are actively in development today, including a contactless kiosk for the hotel’s onsite convenience stores, contactless check in & check out kiosks, and an internal rate strategy program that will make rate management more convenient for hotel operators.
As Cobblestone Hotels Brand President Josie Kilgore noted, the brand understands that they need to be “intentional” when launching new programs and new technological offerings. Each new technology is subjected to a rigorous piloting process with a collection of diverse locations to determine weak points and the overall viability of the program for the operations at hotels in all markets. The brand remains dedicated to figuring out ways to serve all locations and maintains that they will continue to pursue technological opportunities with the care and concern for impact and cost to all locations.
2024 BRAND AWARDS
The brand awards ceremony was held during a formal luncheon, where standout individuals throughout various levels of leadership at the property level were recognized for their dedication to their hotels and to their communities. This year, the coveted title of 2024 Property of the Year came with a bonus, courtesy of the owners of Cobblestone Hotels, LLC. An additional prize of $5,000 was extended to the winner of this award, to be donated to that property’s charity of choice. This is a nod to Cobblestone’s dedication to community and their belief that we grow together, not alone.

October 10, 2025 – Neenah, WI – Cobblestone Hotels celebrated the grand opening and official ribbon cutting ceremony for their new hotel in Bellefontaine, Ohio.
Speakers from area organizations dedicated to the development of the city addressed the crowd that gathered at the entrance to the hotel. Among the speakers were representatives from the Logan County Chamber of Commerce, Mary Rutan Health, Richwood Bank, the City of Bellefontaine, and members of the Cobblestone Hotels Development Team. Ben Vollrath, President of the Logan County Chamber of Commerce, reflected on his involvement on bringing Cobblestone to Bellefontaine, and celebrated the fact that while the journey was long, it is now in the hands of the community to support the hotel and help it grow. “This is now on us as a community to fill this place” Vollrath said, encouraging the residents of Bellefontaine to send their families, friends, and business associates to the Cobblestone Hotel & Suites. This hotel will provide lodging for patrons of local businesses and the friends and families of members of the community, and will serve to keep business in Bellefontaine rather than sending visitors out of town during their stay. One such business is Mary Rutan Health and the Mary Rutan Health System, which was founded in Bellefontaine and operates multiple
campuses throughout the city. On the subject of the hotel, Thomas Denbow, CFO of Mary Rutan Health, noted that “I think it’s just another proud welcoming for … any of the visitors that are coming to town”, asserting that the Cobblestone Hotel & Suites will be a great asset to the hospital in the sense of supporting their patients’ families and also providing in-town lodging for the employees that the health system brings to Bellefontaine for work.
Jeremy Griesbach, President of Development for Cobblestone Hotels, echoed these themes of growth and community, reinforcing that this hotel in Bellefontaine represents the mission of the hotel brand. “It’s just amazing” Griesbach said, “… to get to small town America, like Bellefontaine, and see the things you guys have going on in the community and how they’re willing to step up, participate, and what they’re willing to do to keep their accounts growing and prosperous”. Griesbach’s words reinforce that Cobblestone’s focus is not only to grow as a brand, but also to support the growth of the communities that welcome their hotels. This location is one of five in Ohio, and the brand hopes that this opening will be a catalyst for further expansion into the state and into the Eastern United States.
Guests at the Cobblestone Hotel & Suites will enjoy consistent Cobblestone amenities such as high-speed internet access, a complimentary hot breakfast each morning, and 24-hour Seattle’s Best Coffee service for all guests to enjoy. Each guestroom is tailored to meet the needs of the modern traveler, with in-room amenities such as flat-screen TVs, microwaves, mini-refrigerators, in-room coffee brewers, luxury linens, and bathroom essentials

Dozens gathered to participate in the welcoming of the Cobblestone Hotel & Suites to the city, including representatives from multiple area organizations dedicated to the development of the city and Sanpete county. Speakers from the Sanpete County Chamber of Commerce, Snow College, Sanpete County, the City of Ephraim, the Bank of Commerce, and members of the Cobblestone Hotels development team shared their enthusiasm for the beautiful new facility and the potential for growth that it represents for the local economy. One such speaker was the Mayor of the City of Ephraim, John Scott.
