Overview
- The Cornersville location, which opens June 24, is sited at Exit 22 off I‑65 about an hour south of Nashville and will act as the brand’s inaugural flagship.
- Organizers released a concept map showing on‑site fuel pumps, EV chargers, truck parking and a truckers’ lounge alongside restrooms and a Doggy Parton dog park.
- Visitor amenities will include a full‑service restaurant called DLY BBQ, Dolly’s Cup of Ambition coffee, exclusive merchandise, a replica tour bus photo op, a performance stage and event spaces.
- The venture is a partnership between Dolly Parton, her manager Danny Nozell, and Gregory H. Sachs, who operates the Tennessean Travel Stop brand, and it is presented as the first of multiple planned locations.
- Parton’s project joins a trend toward destination‑style roadside centers in the South and could shift regional road travel by combining practical services for drivers and truckers with live music and tourism-focused retail.
