Of all of the side hustles country artists could partake in, opening a bar or restaurant is the most fitting — and very common. After all, many of these stars got their start on a barstool, tip jar nearby, playing their music for anyone who would listen.
These places feel like home for many of these singers. Over the years, several artists have gotten into the bar or restaurant game, and for a select few, brands have turned into franchises with several locations and/or concepts — we’re looking at you, Jimmy Buffett!
Let’s take a look at the country star food and entertainment venues that have opened over the years.

In 1991, Kenny Rogers opened a chicken franchise with former KFC CEO John Y. Brown Jr. called Kenny Rogers Roasters. The concept quickly expanded to 350 locations across the nation. However, due to a legal battle with Clucker’s over the “wood-roasted chicken” concept and competition from Boston Market, the restaurant filed for bankruptcy in 1998 and closed its U.S. locations. The brand was sold off to a Malaysian company, which still operates multiple Roasters spots across Asia.
