Paisley Park managers hiring staffing for tours
Managers arranging public tours of Prince's Paisley Park are looking for employees to handle the crowds that are expected to visit the private estate and studio complex in a Minneapolis suburb.
The complex in Chanhassen will open for daily public tours starting Oct. 6. The tours will be run by Graceland Holdings, which oversees Elvis Presley's Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.
The management company is holding a job fair at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater Thursday, Sept. 8, and Friday, Sept. 9, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Positions include general manager, tour operations, security, merchandise and marketing. The company doesn't say how many positions are available.
Paisley Park includes the music star's home and his studios where he recorded, produced and mixed most of his biggest hits, and the soundstage where he rehearsed for tours and hosted private concerts.
Prince collapsed in an elevator at the complex and died of an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl in April.
