As part of Travelodge expansion plans Grimsby has been chosen of one of the areas under consideration for a new hotel.
Exciting news for Grimsby. Travelodge who are looking to expand in the North East has announced that they are considering building a new hotel in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire.
With more than 590 hotels and 40,000 guest bedrooms across the UK, Ireland and Spain, Travelodge has announced they are looking to build 16 new hotels across the North East.
The budget hotel brand already has 23hotels in the North East. They want to invest more than £160 million and create 400 jobs by increasing their hotels in the region to 39.
Claire Good, Travelodge Chief Operating Officer said: “As we look to the future, the North East business and leisure economies are growing at pace especially as the region is a top staycation destination.
“However, as we have become a nation of value conscious travellers, with more of us choosing to stay in budget hotels than any other hotel type, there is a shortage of good quality and low-cost accommodation within the region.
“To help fill this gap and fulfil growing demand, we are today announcing our North East hotel target expansion programme and are actively looking for hotel sites in 16 target locations.
“This expansion includes finding a site to open our first hotel in Grimsby.
Having a Travelodge in Grimsby would bring a welcome boost to the local economy and a much-needed job boost
Other areas being considered include Beverley, Bridlington, Headingley, Knaresborough/Wetherby, Northallerton, Ripon and Thirsk.
