The company was founded in 2003 by Jack DeBoer – the founder of Residence Inn, Summerfield Suites and Candlewood Suites. The first Value Place opened in October 2003 in Wichita, Kansas. A franchising program was launched in June 2004.
As of 2015, the company franchises, develops, manages, and owns Value Place properties through its various operating entities. Value Place LLC owns 84 individual Value Place properties, and Value Place Franchise Services LLC franchises 111 properties. Value Place Property Management LLC manages company- and franchisee-owned properties and other operating entities are responsible for development and construction operations.
