Dolly Parton is proving she’s still working 9 to 5 – and then some.
As the beloved singer, songwriter and entrepreneur celebrates her 80th year, she’s showing no signs of slowing down, with a brand-new travel stop opening in Tennessee, a flagship Nashville hotel on the horizon and a record-breaking new attraction coming to Dollywood.
Opening on June 24, Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop in Cornersville is the latest stop on a journey that’s taking Dolly’s trademark warmth and hospitality across the Volunteer State. Located off Interstate 65, the flagship destination offers weary travellers a chance to refuel, recharge and enjoy a little Tennessee sunshine along the way.From Dolly’s Cup of Ambition Coffee and mouth-watering barbecue to exclusive merchandise, live music and a genuine Southern welcome, it’s a roadside experience designed to make every traveller feel right at home.
There’s even a tour bus inspired by Dolly’s own years on the road – because when it comes to life on the highway, nobody knows it better. The opening is just one chapter in what’s shaping up to be the Year of Dolly.
In Nashville, the new SongTeller Hotel and Life of Many Colours Museum will soon welcome guests for an immersive celebration of her music, stories and extraordinary career. It’s a love letter to the city from the woman who has spent a lifetime telling stories and taking fans on a Tennessee mountain home adventure of their own.
Meanwhile, at Dollywood, fans can look forward to NightFlight Expedition, the park’s biggest-ever ride investment. The ground breaking attraction promises thrills, spills and plenty of adventure, giving visitors the chance to soar, splash and travel from here to the moon and back in true Dolly style. From Jolene to journeying down every open road, from her Coat of Many Colours to a whole state stitched together with new attractions, Dolly is once again proving she’s the one calling the tune and making all the right moves
