Hundreds of fans, travelers, community members and more gathered yesterday (June 24) in Cornersville, Tennessee to celebrate the official opening of Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop.

To commemorate the official opening, Dolly Parton, Danny Nozell and Gregory H. Sachs joined together for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Located at exit 22 off of I-65, guests can enjoy merch, food, coffee and more.

“Well, the doors are open and I could not be prouder. Whether you are hauling loads, hauling the family, or just passing through, we built this place for you,” says Parton. “Good food, real rest, a little music, and people who are genuinely glad you stopped in…that’s what the road has always deserved, and that is what you will find here. Welcome home.”

“I am proud to open the doors on the flagship location of Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop right here in the town I call home, Cornersville, Tennessee,” says Sachs, Partner at Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stops. “When I approached Dolly’s manager, Danny Nozell, and shared the idea, Dolly and her team loved it right away. Her years of life on the road gave her a real understanding of what was missing out there, and she saw the chance to turn ordinary travel stops into a place built on Tennessee hospitality, worth stopping for, not just stopping at. Pairing the history this landmark location has with Dolly’s spirit establishes a high benchmark for our future locations.”
