Check out Dolly Parton’s heartfelt message about health.
Country music icon Dolly Parton gave fans a heartfelt update about her health, giving them some good news and some bad news.
A cup of ambition is the key to starting your morning off right, at least according to Dolly Parton.
Inspired by Parton’s Grammy-winning single “9 to 5,” the country music genius is getting into the coffee business with the launch of her “new signature coffee brand” Cup of Ambition.
Available in light, medium and dark roasts, the first lineup will debut on June 24th at the grand opening of Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop in Cornersville, Tennessee. Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop is located approximately 90 miles south of Nashville, just off Exit 22 of Interstate 65.
Those attending the grand opening (or visiting the Travel Center) will be the first to sample Cup of Ambition, but the new blend will be available nationwide in ground and K-cup products “later this year.”
“I’ve spent my entire life working 9-to-5, 5-9, and every hour in between. It takes a lot of energy to pursue your passion and get through each day,” Parton said in a statement. “That’s why we wanted to create a coffee that was just as effective.”
“As you know, I start every morning with a head full of dreams, a notepad full of ideas, and a cup or two of coffee. Whether you’re chasing your dreams, working on your to-do list, or just enjoying a quiet morning at home, I hope every sip makes you smile,” Parton added.
Dolly’s Tennessean Travel will cease opening soon
Described as a “roadside destination built around comfort, care and Tennessee hospitality,” Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop will feature food, merchandise, live music and, in true Parton fashion, Dolly’s Cup of Ambition coffee.
The unique travel stop combines the traditional service of a Tennessean travel stop with Parton’s cultural influences, according to a report in The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network. A “huge celebration” will mark the travel center’s grand opening on June 24th, followed by a week of celebration events scheduled for July 4th.
“I have spent most of my life on the streets, especially on buses,” the “Yellow Roses” singer said in a news release. “After years of visiting greasy spoon cafes, truck stops, and roadside pit stops, we’ve come to understand what travelers want on the road.”
Design details, including layout, have not yet been announced, but the revamped Travel Stop is expected to feature state-of-the-art amenities, curated dining, and local retail. The logo incorporates Parton’s silhouette, echoing the traditional truck mud flap design.
