DOLLY PARTON
TO HOST GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION IN NASHVILLE
OF HER FIRST-EVER RETAIL STORE:
DOLLY PARTON’S TRINKETS & TREASURES
FRIDAY, MARCH 12
DOLLY PARTON has opened her first-ever retail store in Nashville–Dolly Parton’s Trinkets & Treasures–and will be on hand for the official grand opening/ribbon-cutting (pink, of course) ceremony in Nashville Friday, March 12.
“When I was growing up in the backwoods of the Smoky Mountains, any trinket was a treasure to me,” says the vivacious singer, songwriter, author and entrepreneur. “The mail order catalog was my wish book. I wished I could have everything I saw. Those childhood memories inspired my new Trinkets and Treasures store. Come on in and wish and dream…and I will make them come true.”
Located in an old storefront on 2nd Ave. in historic downtown, the 1000 square-foot space reflects the DOLLY “Coat of Many Colors” influence with a mix of pink, yellow, red, blue, green and purple–both in the interior and exterior–with DOLLY music and videos filling the space. Dolly Parton’s Trinkets & Treasures offers a mix of Dolly-centric items for fans of all ages including a music section stocked with Dolly Records’ releases–including the November 2009 2-disc DVD/CD set DOLLY: LIVE FROM LONDON–and a listening post to preview the tunes, t-shirts, hats and a collection of children and tween items. For the store, Dolly has also created fun items like a “Burpin’ 9-5” baby bib and special limited-edition “Coat Of Many Colors” customized guitars, hand-painted and embossed with rhinestones at her Nashville studio.
Opened in November, Dolly Parton’s Trinkets & Treasures is located at 126 2nd Ave North, Nashville, TN (next door to Wild Horse Saloon) and store hours are 10:00 AM-8:00 PM Sunday through Friday, and Saturday from 10:00 AM-10:00 PM. This marks the first retail store for the internationally renowned superstar who launched her own Dolly Records in 2007 with her Backwoods Barbie CD.
