Bennett Enterprises, founded by David and Milton Bennett.

In 1955 Toledoan's and youthful entrepreneurs, David and Milton Bennett, Jr. were granted a Frisch’s Big Boy Franchise.

In 1967, we became a Holiday Inn® franchisee with our first location being the Holiday Inn® French Quarter located in Perrysburg, Ohio. After construction was complete at the French Quarter, Bennett Enterprises built their second Holiday Inn in Monroe, Michigan.

We purchased this building in 1981 when it was a Ramada Inn. We converted the business to a Holiday Inn.

In the Spring of 1996 renovations began to convert the existing Core Brand Holiday Inn I-75 into a Holiday Inn Express and Conference Center. We are a limited service property. We offer a free continental breakfast to all guests each day. We are one of only a half dozen Holiday Inn Express hotels that features a Conference and Meeting Center. There is 5,000 square feet of meeting space at the Holiday Inn Express and Conference Center. Renovations were completed at this location in the Fall of 1996.

Through the years Bennett Enterprises has pursued a strategy of owning the underlying real estate for its restaurant and hotel operations. As a result, real estate development is part of what Bennett does. Bennett Enterprises is landlord to Barnes & Noble on Monroe Street which opening in 1994. In 1997 we developed the two Toledo Area Circuit City locations. In 2012, the former Circuit City on Monroe Street was leased to Jo Ann Fabrics. Bennett also holds undeveloped property on Airport Highway, Alexis Road, Reynolds Road and in Rossford, Ohio at the Crossroads of America.

By following these four basic concepts: (1) be a good company to work for, (2) be a good company to sell to, (3) be a good company to buy from, and (4) be a good neighbor to the community, Bennett Enterprises has become the largest restaurant and hotel owner/operator in this area.
