Travelodge has revealed the UK areas where it wants to open new hotels – and several Lancashire towns feature on the list.

Over the past five years, the budget hotel chain has opened more than 80 new Travelodges throughout Great Britain.

They recently began a recruitment drive to fill 600 jobs across hotels in the UK.

Now, they have their sights set on even more locations and are seeking new development opportunities.

Travelodge has announced it is targeting Lancashire and has earmarked four towns as sites for potential development opportunities.

They are now looking for a site in these areas to build on from scratch or for buildings to convert into one of their hotels.

A spokesperson said: “We are currently seeking development opportunities that could incorporate a new Travelodge hotel, either on its own or as part of a mixed-use scheme, and will consider new developments and conversions of existing buildings and hotels operated by other brands.

“If you have details of a site or hotel that is available and could be redeveloped as a Travelodge then please contact our development manager responsible for the region where the property is located.

“Our [list] highlights our target requirements and provides contact details for our development managers. However, this list is not exhaustive and the DMs will be delighted to consider any opportunities within their areas.”
