    Dear friends,

    I’m honored to share that Brooks Shaw’s Old Country Store at Casey Jones Village has been named one of the Top 10 Buffet Restaurants in America by USA TODAY 10Best, marking our fourth consecutive year ranking in the nation’s Top 10, and our second year in a row holding the No. 4 spot nationally.

    This recognition is a meaningful milestone for our business, and it’s a reflection of the fantastic team that makes up the Old Country Store in Casey Jones Village. Jackson, Tennessee continues to prove it belongs on the map alongside the nation’s most celebrated travel and dining destinations, and I’m grateful to be part of a hospitality and tourism community, across Tennessee and beyond, that helps make that possible.

    I’d also be foolish not to mention how much of this success traces back to mentorship and friendship. Over the years, so many of you have helped my family by offering guidance, sharing hard won lessons, and simply showing up as friends, and that kind of generosity has shaped this business as much as any marketing plan or menu decision ever could. A milestone like this one belongs, in part, to the people who helped us: people like you. 

    I want to take this opportunity to genuinely thank each of you for your continued support of our business, whether through policy work, advocacy, partnership, mentorship, or simply championing what we do at Old Country Store and Casey Jones Village. Sixty years in, that support means more than I can fully express, and it’s a privilege to keep building something worth visiting, and worth talking about, together.

    Thank you for being part of this journey.


    Blessings, 

    W. Brooks Shaw 

    President, Brooks Shaw’s Old Country Store & Casey Jones Village

    For Release:

    June 5th, 2026 9:30am

    MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Fresh off the launch of their newest experience, MawMaw’s Secret, the Puzzol Creative

    team is making new waves in the escape room world by opening a brand-new location in Bartlett! On Friday,

    June 19th, they’re opening on 6759 Stage Road with two new rooms!

    Memphis Escape Rooms celebrated 10 years in business last July, and with the new location, they aren’t

    showing any signs of slowing down just yet. Over the last decade, they’ve brought dozens of escape rooms

    to life, launched The Adventure Museum, and Game Nite Lounge. Co-Founder Mallory Lynch says that she is

    excited to bring their escape rooms to the Bartlett area. “We’ve heard from so many of our loyal customers

    about wanting us to be in this area, and the excitement and reception so far has been incredible!”

    The new location in Bartlett will be their third location. They currently have two others, one in East

    Memphis, and one on South Main downtown. This location will open with two brand new games, Camp

    Wasaakee and Cairo Connection. “I can’t wait for people to play these new rooms.” Said Co-Founder Keith

    Edwards. “Camp Wasaakee will entertain and delight players, keeping them laughing throughout their

    experience similar to MawMaw’s Secret, and Cairo Connection is going to hit all the classic adventure notes

    for people who like Shipwreck Cove and Magician’s Code.

    Co-Founder Stephen Lynch said that the quick turn-around was challenging but exciting, and their passion

    for the industry and bringing fun things to the city kept them pushing through. “We opened MawMaw’s

    Secret and pretty much immediately broke ground on these new rooms.” Lynch said. “It’s been non-stop

    building this year, but these games are so fun and rewarding, and we can’t wait for people to see what

    we’ve been up to!”

    The new location on Stage Road opens Friday June 19th, and tickets are on sale now at
