Glen Mills, PA - Golden Malted®, America's Largest Distributor of Waffle Mix and Irons, announces it will be the exclusive Qualified Vendor of fresh-baked waffles for all properties franchised by Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world’s leading hospitality companies, throughout the United States and Canada. Globally, Choice Hotels franchises more than 6,400 hotels under eleven well-known brands including Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Sleep Inn and Quality Inn.

For more than 10 years, Golden Malted Waffles have been a signature offering at Choice Hotels around the world. With Golden Malted becoming the exclusive Qualified Vendor of waffles for Choice Hotels, guests will be able to enjoy the taste and aroma fresh-baked malted waffles during their travels.

“In the hotel business, a great breakfast leaves guests with a positive, final impression. Waffles from Golden Malted certainly help Choice Hotels properties deliver on that, and the numbers prove it,” said Rick Summa, vice president of procurement services for Choice Hotels. “For instance, last year guests of the Comfort brand alone consumed an estimated 25 million waffles. If placed side by side, that would be approximately 3,000 miles of Golden Malted Waffles – the distance between New York and Los Angeles.”

"We're excited to expand our relationship with Choice Hotels. They have been a fantastic partner and together we have brought our world-renowned waffles to millions of consumers. Now as the exclusive Qualified Vendor, we’re looking forward to bringing our great tasting products to even more guests." said Richard Cleaver, Senior Vice President of Sales and Distribution.

Richard Cleaver continued, "Our relationship with Choice Hotels is the perfect opportunity for both organizations to bring our high-quality products and services together to deliver a memorable experience that will have guests coming back for more.”
