Coming Soon to Times Square: The Grand Ole Opry

First outpost of the 91-year-old brand is set to open in April.

Kristin M. Hall, a Tennessee native and Nashville-based entertainment writer for AP, had an interesting item to close out the month. The iconic Grande Ole Opry brand is kicking off far-reaching bricks-and-mortar expansion ambitions with a Times Square outpost.

The New York venue is scheduled to open around April 2017. From Hall’s report:

Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc., which owns the Opry House and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, on Thursday announced plans to open the Opry City Stage, which will feature retail space, a listening room and private event space, a bar and a restaurant.
