NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Country music’s Reba McEntire is taking on a new business venture. The “Fancy” singer is set to open a restaurant, bar, store and live music venue in 2022.
Constructed inside a century-old Masonic Temple in Atoka, Oklahoma, “Reba’s Place” will feature two stories of dining space, a restored antique bar on the main floor, a retail shop, and live musical performances. Reba says she's "thrilled to pieces" for fans to enjoy "a little pickin' and grinnin' and singin'" in the new venue.
Guests will have their choice of menu highlights like the “Fancy” steak dinner, street tacos and Reba’s favorite dish, pinto beans and corn bread. Inspired by the country queen’s western heritage, the space, in partnership with the Choctaw Nation and city of Atoka, will include a curated collection of memorabilia and personal archives from Reba.
“I’m very excited to be opening a place so close to my roots,” shared Reba. “The Choctaw Nation and the city of Atoka are wonderful partners and I can’t wait to welcome our first guests to Reba’s Place. We are working very hard to create something not only for the local community, but that will also bring in folks from across the country.”
Throughout the years, Reba’s career has spanned across music, film, theater, television and retail. The venue is the latest professional move from the multi-media entertainment entrepreneur.
The “Reba’s Place” announcement follows the release of Reba’s three-part box set REVIVED REMIXED REVISITED, a reimagined collection of her most iconic songs. The Country Music Hall of Fame member has previously scored 35 career No. 1 singles and sold more than 56 million albums worldwide.
