PIGEON FORGE, TN (Aug. 21, 2013)—In keeping with the Southern charm and hospitality that has welcomed millions to her award-winning Dollywood theme park since 1986, entertainment legend Dolly Parton plans to welcome guests to her new Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort scheduled to open in summer 2015 in the Great Smoky Mountains.

“This is the realization of a dream I’ve had for more than 30 years,” Parton said. “My DreamMore Resort conjures up thoughts of a simpler place and time when Mama and Daddy and all us kids spent hours on end just swapping stories and catching up.

“I want to offer families more than a place to stay; I want to invite them on the porch and in my front door where they can slow down, kick back and enjoy all that this beautiful area has to offer.”

 “Dolly’s dreams have carried her around the world,” said The Dollywood Company President Craig Ross. “Now, families from all corners of the world can come and stay at her DreamMore Resort and experience the one-of-a-kind hospitality that has brought international acclaim to her Dollywood properties.”

 Located just a stone’s throw from Dollywood, the 300-room Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort will be situated on 100 acres. Guests will enjoy views of the Great Smoky Mountains which have inspired Parton throughout her career and were immortalized in the song In My Tennessee Mountain Home which she wrote.

Dollywood Cabins, Pigeon Forge, TN

Featuring a variety of accommodations, the resort celebrates the iconic Southern gathering spot, beckoning to a time when families and friends sipped iced tea, enjoyed homemade ice cream and socialized.

Centered on the rich traditions of storytelling, family and togetherness, the resort will feature many special touches including family sanctuaries like fire pits, swings and hammocks plus story spots scattered throughout the grounds.

 Showcasing design features and décor elements that celebrate the area’s natural beauty, Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort includes an indoor and outdoor resort pool complex, a spa, and a full-service farmhouse-style restaurant.

 With an emphasis on encouraging family bonding time, the resort also features a family activities center where guests can secure reservations for a variety of adventures centered around wholesome fun, including hikes in neighboring Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort is the second capital investment in a 10-year plan that includes more $300 million in future developments for Parton’s Dollywood properties, located in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.

 Scheduled to open summer of 2015, Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort is situated on 100 acres adjacent to Dollywood and just minutes from neighboring Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited in the U.S.

With pristine mountain views, the 300-room resort features a variety of accommodations and a special Dolly’s Suite Dreams celebrity suite. 

Evoking the iconic Southern gathering spot, Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort joins Dollywood Cabins as the company’s second venture in the lodging industry.

Atlanta's night skyline

  

Dr. Eloisa Klementich

ATLANTA, GA (Aug. 21, 2013) — Invest Atlanta has launched Startup Stories, a blog highlighting local startups and celebrating the city’s entrepreneurial culture.

From stories of how successful entrepreneurs got started to local leaders’ perspectives on Atlanta as a small business hub to resources and inspiration for would-be entrepreneurs, Startup Stories will capture the energy surrounding Atlanta’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

           

Brian P. McGowan

“Startups are a significant growth area for business development in the City of Atlanta,” said Brian P. McGowan, president and CEO of Invest Atlanta. 

“We are reaching out to our entrepreneurs and making sure they have the support they need to grow and thrive. The Startup Stories blog is part of our effort to build a sense of community among Atlanta entrepreneurs.”

Reggie Bradford

Startup Stories will highlight young and growing talent in Atlanta, as well as showcase the city’s great successes. Reggie Bradford, David Cummings and Alan Dabbiere — all successful Atlanta entrepreneurs — are profiled as part of the site’s official launch.

David Cummings

The blog’s launch event was hosted Wednesday at Atlantic Station’s 201 Building. Sig Mosley, Reggie Bradford and Charles Brewer spoke on a panel about Atlanta’s startup and entrepreneurial scene.

Many entrepreneurs have already discovered how much the city has to offer. Atlanta has been named #1 for minority and women entrepreneurship, #2 for entrepreneurial activity and #5 in small business friendliness, according to various independent sources.

Alan Dabbiere

Invest Atlanta has worked hard to reach out to startups. 

For example, during the past year, Invest Atlanta incubated Startup Atlanta, an umbrella organization providing support and networking opportunities to technology startups. Startup Atlanta became a standalone nonprofit organization in May.

  Dr. Eloisa Klementich, managing director of business development, serves as Startup Atlanta’s board chair.

           

Sig Mosley

“Atlanta is full of inspiring startup stories,” Klementich said. “We love working with passionate, bright entrepreneurs to help them tap into the resources available so they can grow their businesses, creating even more wealth and job opportunities in the City.”
