It's time to saddle up, Toby Keith fans. The official word is the country singer's I Love This Bar & Grill will open at 4 p.m. Friday in St. Louis Park. Twin Cities-based country singer, Shane Wyatt, will perform at 9:30 p.m. tonight. Lee Brice is scheduled to perform at the bar on Tuesday.

A grand opening party is being planned for July. No word if Keith will attend the grand opening, as he's done in the past for the chain's other locations.

The bar is huge (supposedly around 14,700 square feet) and is located next to Cooper at the Shops at the West End.
