Dolly Parton Partners to Rebrand Tennessean Travel Stops, Cornersville Flagship Set for Summer 2026

The Cornersville flagship will serve as a proof-of-concept with the existing stop remaining open until a summer 2026 relaunch.

Overview

  • Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop is a licensed partnership that refreshes the longtime Tennessean Travel Stop brand with a traveler-focused concept.
  • The inaugural site replaces the existing Cornersville location about 60 miles south of Nashville and is expected to open in summer 2026.
  • Renovations will introduce modern amenities, curated dining, and regional retail while the current stop continues operating.
  • Additional locations are planned to be announced in 2026, with no public details yet on job numbers, investment levels, or expansion timing.
  • Manager Danny Nozell and state Rep. Todd Warner framed the project as a boost for local communities, and Tennessean CEO Gregory Sachs said the partnership builds on the stop’s legacy dating to 1974.
