Guests got a surprise when the namesake of a recently rebranded travel center in Tennessee showed up at a gala grand opening Wednesday.

The event kicked off a week-long celebration filled with special events, entertainment, and giveaways.
"Well, the doors are open and I could not be prouder. Whether you are hauling loads, hauling the family, or just passing through, we built this place for you,” said Parton. “Good food, real rest, a little music, and people who are genuinely glad you stopped in…that’s what the road has always deserved, and that is what you will find here. Welcome home."
To commemorate the official opening, Dolly Parton, Danny Nozell and Gregory H. Sachs joined together for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The opening of Dolly's Tennessean Travel Stop marks the beginning of a week of festivities at the new destination, culminating with a major celebration on July 3.
