Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop Officially Set To Open In June
Dolly Parton’s Tennessean Travel Stop is officially set to welcome guests on June 24, introducing a travel experience built around the idea that every stop on the highway should feel a little more like home.
Located at exit 22 off of I-65 in Cornersville, Tennessee, approximately one hour south of Nashville and one hour northwest of Huntsville, Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop is built on the belief that every traveler deserves comfort, good food and a genuine welcome. Guests can stop by to relax, shop for merch and eat, including standout barbecue offerings from DLY BBQ, a fresh cup of Dolly’s Cup of Ambition Coffee and a full-service sit-down cafe and restaurant.
Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop will also feature an original mural commissioned as a permanent love letter to Cornersville, making this flagship location one-of-a-kind. A tour bus inspired by the one Dolly has traveled in for years will also be on-site, providing a fun, photo-worthy way for guests to connect with her life on the highway.
The travel stop is the first of many planned locations, born from the partnership between Parton, her manager Danny Nozell, and Gregory H. Sachs, who has owned and operated the trusted Tennessean Travel Stop brand since 2017. Inspired by Dolly’s lifelong connection to the open road, from her childhood in the hills of East Tennessee to decades spent touring the world by bus, the venture reimagines what a roadside stop can be.
The grand opening event will be a large-scale celebration, with all welcome to attend and experience the travel stop firsthand. Additional details on the grand opening festivities will be revealed in the coming weeks. Live music will be at the heart of Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop, and local musicians and bands interested in being considered for booking at the flagship Cornersville location for Grand Opening Week and beyond are encouraged to submit their information here.
