Reba McEntire is celebrating a career milestone. The Country Music Hall of Fame member is celebrating the two-year anniversary of Reba's Place, her restaurant in Atoka, Oklahoma.
McEntire spoke out about the anniversary on social media.
"It's been two incredible years since Reba's Place opened its doors! Come see us in Atoka, OK!" McEntire writes.
When McEntire opened Reba's Place in 2023, she said it was a way to combine her love of music with her love of her home state.
"Music and the fans helped build this place and get it all together. And that's what a restaurant is all about, where people can come in, visit and eat," McEntire said at the time. "Reba's Place is a joint venture with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, and they are the best partner. It's exciting to work with people who have a passion for this town and for creating jobs, tourism, and new opportunities in southeastern Oklahoma, in the community where I grew up."
McEntire has plenty to keep her busy besides her restaurant and her music career. The 69-year-old is also starring in Happy's Place, a new sitcom airing on NBC. The comedy also stars her longtime boyfriend Rex Linn, a win-win for McEntire.
"When we were working on this, they said, 'We're going to have a short-order cook,' and I said, 'That's gotta be Rex,'" McEntire reveals on the Today Show. "We have a blast. I love it. He brings me into work. He drives us to work and then takes us home, and he's my rehearsal coach, so I rehearse a lot."
McEntire loves being in front of the camera, whether singing or acting. But she admits she has a particular fondness for TV shows that make people laugh.
"I love that genre," McEntire says. "I like sitcoms. I was a huge fan of them growing up, and then getting to do the Reba show, one season of Malibu Country, and now back with the team, my producers, showrunners, doing this new show, it's just so much fun. I love everything about it."
Happy's Place also stars McEntires' former Reba co-star, Melissa Peterman. The show airs at 8:00 PM ET.
