Travelers can find some of the best services from family-owned establishments. The Tennessean Travel Stop is one such establishment, operating since 1974. Located in Cornersville, Tennessee, off Interstate 65, the Tennessean Travel Stop prides itself on being open “All day, every day.”
While the establishment suffered a fire in July 2021 that put it out of commission for a couple of years, the owner was determined to keep it going. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, The Tennessean Travel Stop reopened in January 2024. It’s now better than ever with its 25,000-square-foot facility serving truckers, travelers, and locals alike.
The Tennessean provides truckers and travelers with private showers, laundry services, a full-service restaurant and buffet, a dog park, and plenty of parking. The inclusion of live music and a full bar has made it a fun spot even for locals. Even before the fire, the Tennessean Travel Stop was an iconic part of the community. As Gregory Sachs, the owner, told WKRN News, “…it’s a great place, all the locals come here all the time and everybody knows each other.”
