The family-friendly hotel brand kicks off a nationwide hunt for a travel-ready, cheese-loving, social-savvy family eager to savor the Midwest's finest fromage

PARSIPPANY, N.J., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cheese fanatics, rejoice! From the picturesque hills of Wisconsin to the delightful dairy farms of Iowa and plenty of cheddar stops in between, one thing is for sure: cheese isn't just food—it's a way of life, and the Midwest has mastered it. That's why, this summer, AmericInn by Wyndham, the family-friendly hotel brand known as America's welcoming neighbor, is celebrating America's cheese devotion with a search for the 'Cheesiest' Family in America. In exchange for a $15,000 payday, the hotel chain seeks a cheese-loving family to hit the road through the Midwest, crafting social media content for the brand – where cheese puns are the star attraction.

It's no surprise that cheese holds a special place in the hearts (and stomachs) of Americans. Recent research reveals that nearly 96% of Americans enjoy cheese regularly and about a third savor it in their meals on average of three times daily. From the mouth-watering cheese curds of Wisconsin to the artisanal fromage of Minnesota the first-ever AmericInn Cheesiest Family will dive headfirst into seven nights of cheesy bliss.

Our first ever Cheesiest Family will fully immerse themselves in the best cheese-scapades, experiencing AmericInn signature hospitality and sharing their memorable adventures on social media."
