Dolly Parton's New Pit Stop Adventure

Dolly Parton, renowned for her music and business acumen, is venturing into the gas station industry. This isn't her first foray into diverse ventures—she's already made her mark in food, entertainment, and more. Now, she's setting her sights on travel stops, aiming to infuse her signature Southern charm into highways nationwide.

A Collaboration with Tennessean Travel Stop

Parton is collaborating with Tennessean Travel Stop to revamp these locations into welcoming spaces for families and truck drivers. The first site, in Cornersville, Tennessee, is undergoing a transformation and will reopen in 2026 as Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop. If successful, more locations could follow across the country.

More Than Just Fuel

Parton envisions these stops as more than just refueling stations. She wants them to feel like home—a place to recharge during long journeys. With years of experience traveling for her music career, she understands the needs of travelers.

Creating Jobs and Opportunities

Beyond customer experience, Parton aims to bring jobs to underserved areas. By expanding nationwide, she hopes to support local economies and create opportunities where they're needed most.

What’s Next?

Details on additional locations remain undisclosed. The Cornersville flagship store is the only confirmed site for now. Travelers will have to wait until 2026 to see if Dolly's vision becomes a reality on highways near them.
