BUDGET hotel Travelodge is looking for new premises in Somerset.
The firm has revealed it is on the lookout for sites in Minehead, Yeovil, the centre of Taunton and Weston-super-Mare.
It says the potential investment could top £32 million and create around 100 jobs.
Currently, the nearest Travelodge to Taunton town centre is at Hankridge and there is a venue at Chelston, near Wellington.
