Company History
WestCoast Hospitality Corporation was founded in 1937 under the name Goodale & Barbieri Companies. Between 1937 and 1976, the Company focused on third-party commercial and residential property management services and real estate development in Spokane, Washington. The Company’s history of owning and operating hotels commenced in 1976 when it constructed the River Inn in Spokane. In 1980, the Company established its proprietary Cavanaughs brand name. In 1987, the Company founded G&B Select A Seat, a computerized event ticketing company. In 1998 the Company completed its Initial Public Offering on the New York Stock Exchange. At the end of 1999, the Company completed its acquisition of WestCoast Hotels, Inc. and subsequently re-branded its Cavanaughs Hotels to the WestCoast name, as well as changed the name of the Company to WestCoast Hospitality Corporation (NYSE: WEH). At the end of 2001, the Company completed its acquisition of Red Lion Hotels and Inns.
