Dolly Parton's New Pit Stop Adventure

Dolly Parton, known for her music and business savvy, is adding gas stations to her list of ventures. This isn't her first time branching out. She's already made her mark in various industries, from food to entertainment. Now, she's setting her sights on travel stops, aiming to bring her signature Southern charm to highways across the country. The collaboration is with Tennessean Travel Stop. They're working together to give these stops a makeover. The goal is to create a welcoming space for families and truck drivers alike. The first location, in Cornersville, Tennessee, is getting a facelift and will reopen in 2026 under the name Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop. If this one succeeds, more locations could pop up nationwide. Parton's vision is to offer more than just fuel. She wants these stops to feel like home, a place to recharge during long journeys. She's no stranger to life on the road, having spent years traveling for her music career. This experience gives her a unique perspective on what travelers need. The focus isn't just on customers. Parton also wants to bring jobs to areas that need them. By expanding across the country, she hopes to support underserved counties and create opportunities. As for where to find these new travel stops, details are still under wraps. The flagship location in Cornersville is the only one confirmed so far. Travelers will have to wait until 2026 to see if Dolly's vision becomes a reality on highways near them.
