Legendary country music superstars Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks will host the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards on May 11 at 7 p.m. in North Texas.
Here's your chance to get your hands on some Dolly Parton merch before the show.
"This is so great," an exuberant Parton told a crowd of reporters, photographers, and social media influencers before the doors officially opened. "They did such a good job 'cause it's like walking into a museum."
The store has Dolly's costumes on display from her decades-long career, as well as Dolly merchandise from T-shirts to mugs, to baking mixes to buy.

"I take joy in the fact that I've been able to see all my little Smokey Mountain dreams come true," Parton said. "I ain't getting no younger, but like I told my husband, I ain't getting no older!"
Parton will co-host the Academy of Country Music Awards this year at The Star in Frisco.
"To be the country music capital of the world here for a week in May. The stars and entertainers are arriving as we speak," Frisco Mayor Jeff Cheney said.
"Man, I think it's a really cool time for Frisco, but it's also a really cool time for country music," country artist Corey Kent said.
Kent, who lives in Frisco, opened two days of free concerts on the plaza.
"For a long time there seemed to be a big division between Texas country and Nashville country, and this to me is a nice symbolic merging of the two," Kent said.
In a world that seems divided, Dolly Parton bridges the gap.
"I just try to love people," Parton said. "I try to find the God light in everybody."
