Center in Concord, N.C. Hotel and Convention Center Complement
Area's Rapid Growth SPRINGFIELD, Mo. and CONCORD, N.C., Sept. 1
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mr. John Q. Hammons today announced his
plans to develop a $40-million, 310-suite Embassy Suites Hotel and
an adjoining 80,000 square foot convention center in Concord, N.C.
The new hotel and convention center will be owned by Mr. Hammons
and overlook the city-owned Rocky River Golf Club. The hotel,
convention center and Rocky River Golf Club will be managed by
Springfield, Mo.-based John Q. Hammons Hotels, Inc. (AMEX:JQH), the
nation's leading independent builder, developer, owner and manager
of upscale, full-service hotels, resorts and suites. Construction
on the 10-story Embassy Suites Hotel Concord will begin in November
2004, and a grand opening is scheduled for Spring 2006.
Strategically located east of I-85 and north of I-485, the hotel
will be less than a mile from the popular Concord Mills mall, the
500,000-seat Lowe's Motor Speedway and Concord Regional Airport.
Demand generators such as the University of North Carolina at
Charlotte and the world headquarters of Philip Morris are also
within three miles of the property. In addition, the hotel will be
the fifth John Q. Hammons Hotel in North Carolina, and the
convention center will be the first of its kind in Concord. "With
the rapid commercial and industrial growth on the north side of
Charlotte, Concord is becoming a premier destination for business
and leisure travelers," said Mr. John Q. Hammons, founder, chairman
and chief executive officer of John Q. Hammons Hotels, Inc. "The
city is in great need of a convention center and additional
full-service hotel, and I am confident that the Embassy Suites
Hotel Concord's first-class accommodations, as well as the
accompanying convention center's flexible meeting space, will meet
those needs and exceed the expectations of all." The convention
center's large square footage and the property's 2,500-person
capacity ballroom make the Embassy Suites Hotel and convention
center a convenient lodging and meeting option for both business
and leisure travelers. The full-service meeting staff will help
make the convention center an ideal facility for a variety of
events from lavish weddings to business meetings and conferences.
Guests can also look forward to reveling in the luxurious interior
and relaxing under the glass atrium, a signature feature of every
John Q. Hammons Hotel. Area Information Known as the heart of
NASCAR country, Concord provides fun and excitement for thousands
of racing enthusiasts and newcomers to the sport each year.
Additionally, Concord Mills mall, the shopping entertainment
destination of the Carolinas and second most popular visitor
attraction in North Carolina, offers world-class shopping at over
200 stores. Visitors can tour underground tunnels, pan for gold and
watch an ore-crushing stamp mill in action at Reed Gold Mine, where
Conrad Reed made the first gold discovery in America in 1799. The
city of Concord takes great pride in its historic downtown area
with one- of-a-kind shopping, restaurants, coffee houses, historic
sites, beautifully restored Victorian homes and seasonal historic
home tours. Additionally, with a history that dates back over 200
years, the city boasts a unique atmosphere of both modernization
and heritage. Other attractions include Bost Grist Mill, the
