History

Based on the philosophy of providing consistent, friendly service and clean rooms at low rates, Super 8 was born in a coffee shop in Aberdeen, South Dakota. This coffee shop dream between two acquaintances, Dennis Brown and Ron Rivett, came to fruition in September 1974 when the first Super 8 motel was opened for business in Aberdeen, charging a mere $8.88 a night. Since then, Super 8 can be found in more locations than any other economy lodging chain in the world.
