Travelers will soon be able to visit the first-ever Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop.
Country music icon Dolly Parton has proven herself a multifaceted businesswoman, with ventures in hospitality, beauty, food & beverage, entertainment, and more. In November 2025, she announced her partnership with the Tennessean Travel Stop to rebrand and revitalize its flagship location in Cornersville, Tennessee, as Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop.
Now, an official opening date has been set. The flagship location at exit 22 off I-65 in Cornersville, TN, will open on Wednesday, June 24th. The highly traveled interchange is approximately one hour south of Nashville and one hour northwest of Huntsville.
According to a press release, a “large-scale” grand opening celebration is planned for June 24th, and all are invited to attend. More details will be revealed in the coming weeks. Additionally, the partnership aims to open “many planned locations” in the future.
What makes Dolly’s Travel Stops different?
Travelers have many options while on the road, so what sets this new business apart? Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop is the first-of-its-kind, and was “created as a welcoming destination for all who travel the road, from professional drivers to families and everyday road-trippers.”
Special details of the facility will be custom merch, a dog park, an outdoor patio, and an original mural commissioned as a permanent love letter to Cornersville, Tennessee. Food offerings will include barbecue from DLY BBQ, a fresh cup of Dolly’s Cup of Ambition Coffee, as well as a full-service sit-down cafe & restaurant.
Finally, the stop will feature a tour bus inspired by the one Dolly used during her years on the road, providing a fun, photo-worthy way for guests to connect with her life as a country star.
