Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop opens June 24 in Cornersville, Tennessee, giving Dolly Parton another branded stop on the state's travel map outside the Dollywood resort.
The first location sits at exit 22 off I-65, about one hour south of Nashville and one hour northwest of Huntsville. The grand opening begins the July 4 travel week, with more event details still to come.
Guests will be able to buy custom merchandise, DLY BBQ, Dolly's Cup of Ambition Coffee, and full-service cafe and restaurant items. The Cornersville stop will also have fuel, an original mural, and a tour bus inspired by the one Parton has used on the road.
Dolly Tourism Keeps Expanding in Tennessee
The travel stop is the first planned location from Parton, her manager Danny Nozell, and Gregory H. Sachs, who has owned and operated the Tennessean Travel Stop brand since 2017.
It also lands during a packed Dolly tourism year. Dollywood has NightFlight Expedition on its 2026 theme-park slate in Pigeon Forge, while Nashville is preparing for the SongTeller Hotel and Dolly's Life of Many Colors Museum.
For travelers building a Tennessee trip around Dollywood, the Cornersville stop is not near Pigeon Forge. It is a road-trip stop on I-65, closer to the Nashville-to-Huntsville drive than the Smokies.
