TCOR stands for Tom Corcoran, who, along with Debbie Feldman and Joe Corcoran founded TCOR hotel Partners in late 2017. Tom cut his teeth in the hotel industry in Wichita, Kansas, back in the ‘70’s working for Jack DeBoer and Bob Brock, founders of Residence Inn. They saw talent in Tom Corcoran, then just in his mid-thirties and elevated him to CEO. Corcoran then went on to the restaurant/entertainment business acquiring the parent company of Chuck E Cheese out of bankruptcy. In 1991, Tom Corcoran and the late Hervey Feldman, founder of the Embassy Suites brand, established FelCor Suite Hotels. In 1994 FelCor went public as a hotel REIT and in 1996 FelCor Lodging Trust was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. In 2017, Tom initiated the blockbuster 2.6 billion acquisition of FelCor Lodging Trust by RLJ Lodging Trust, marking the first merger of two hotel REITS.
