Trivia and History

The new Commerce Business Park opened in 2006, with a new roundabout on the Frome Bypass. This predominantly industrial development included land that had been zoned for use by retailers, a hotel, a pub-restaurant and a filling station.

The hotel and restaurant opened as a Premier Inn and the 'Frome Flyer' branch of Table Table at the same time as the business park. The pub-restaurant gains its name from a reference to local Formula 1 driver Jenson Button and the hotel is positioned close to the junction of Jenson Avenue and Marshall Way. The hotel gained a two-storey 44-bedroom extension in 2011. The restaurant later became a Beefeater in 2018.

The filling station was the last addition to the business park and opened in February 2019 as a Shell site featuring a Subway store. As a result of the new addition, this was celebrated with some new road signs highlighting the facilities from the A361. In Spring 2020, the Subway was converted to a Greggs store with the store opening in August 2020 following delays caused by the first coronavirus lockdown.
