Jeff Plamondon

Plamondon Companies is proud to announce the hiring of Jeff Plamondon, the third generation of the Plamondon family, to join the organization's 42 year old hospitality business. Jeff will be joining the company as Director of Real Estate and Business Development.

The Plamondon family business was started in 1980 by patriarch, Peter Plamondon Sr., a former Marriott executive who became a franchisee of Roy Rogers Restaurants, the western-themed, quick- service restaurant brand. Buoyed by the success of their dad's many locations, brothers Peter Plamondon Jr. and Jim Plamondon joined the family business and inherited their father's passion for quality hospitality, community engagement, and wholesome family values.

The company grew significantly in the late 90's, expanding into lodging with the formation of Plamondon Hospitality Partners and becoming the owner/franchisor of the entire Roy Rogers Restaurant chain. Today, PHP is the largest hotel operator in central Maryland, operating 13 Marriott and Hilton Select Service properties throughout the region, as well as Pennsylvania and Georgia. PEI successfully operates 24 corporate restaurants plus 16 franchised locations in five states. The company has over 1,000 full and part-time employees.

For the last five and a half years, Jeff worked for Davidson Hospitality Group, a third-party hotel management company based in Atlanta, GA focused solely on upper-upscale and near luxury full-service hotels and resorts. He was part of the Acquisitions and Business Development team responsible for growing the company's management portfolio via acquisitions, ownership transitions, and new developments. He is a graduate of the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management with a minor in Real Estate.

In his new role leading lodging portfolio growth, Jeff will focus on both ground-up developments as well as acquisitions to continue to grow PHP. Plamondon will also pursue third-party management relationships which the company has done in the past. Jeff's Real Estate Development responsibilities for the Roy Rogers division will involve managing PEI's corporate real estate portfolio as well as maintaining relationships with landlords and tenants.
