You can now literally pour a ‘cup of ambition’ to start your day and it’s Dolly-approved

Dolly Parton is turning a classic anthem into a morning reality. Decades after the 1980 hit '9 to 5' cemented its place in music history, the icon is inviting fans to literally pour a 'Cup of Ambition' to kickstart their day.

A Musical Brew

This new coffee venture is a collaboration between Dolly Parton and Community Coffee, a family-owned brand based in Louisiana with over a century of experience. The partnership brings together Dolly's legendary spirit with the expertise of the Saurage family, who are now into their sixth generation of roasting.

According to the brand's official release, the line launches with light, medium, and dark roasts curated by the country music star herself. 'I’ve spent a lifetime workin’ 9 to 5, 5 to 9, and every hour in between,' Parton said. 'It takes a lot of energy to pursue your passion and navigate each day. That’s why I wanted to make a coffee that works just as hard.'

Where to Find It

The coffee is set to make its official debut on June 24, 2026, at Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop, located at Exit 22 on I-65 south of Nashville. For those outside the Tennessee area, the brand confirms a nationwide rollout of ground coffee and K-Cups is planned for later this year. Fans can sign up here to stay updated on the launch.

A Shared Vision

The partnership appears to be a natural fit, rooted in mutual respect. Donna Saurage, a third-generation owner of Community Coffee, noted that Parton embodies the core values of the company: hard work, warmth, and genuine connection. 'This partnership felt right from the very first conversation, and Cup of Ambition is something our family is truly proud and honored to put our name behind,' Saurage said.

As Dolly herself put it, she starts every morning with 'a head full of dreams, a notepad full of ideas, and a cup or two of coffee.' Now, 205focus.com readers can do the same.
