Work crews in Nashville have removed the Shoney's sign from the former restaurant location at 110 Interstate Drive. The site, situated near Nissan Stadium, has been repurposed for parking.

The removal marks the final transformation of the former dining property into a parking lot managed by PMC. This change reflects the ongoing development and land use shifts occurring in the area surrounding the stadium.
The removed sign sat at 110 Interstate Drive, which is one of three Shoney's locations formerly serving the Nashville area. Crews have replaced the structure with a new PMC parking sign.

Market Landscape
The conversion of the Interstate Drive property follows a pattern of repurposing commercial real estate near the stadium set by the Nashville stadium area redevelopment plan. This shift highlights how traditional retail assets are being absorbed by parking demand in high-traffic urban corridors.
Residents and event-goers should note that the property is no longer operating as a restaurant and will serve as a parking facility. This change reduces local dining options while potentially increasing parking availability for visitors near the stadium.
The takeaway
The removal of the signage signals the permanent closure of this specific Interstate Drive location. Customers looking for the brand should note that the company intends to focus its efforts on new operations, including a planned restaurant opening in Memphis next year.
