_{Graceland Randers in Denmark}    

The New York Times reports that Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate is to be replicated in the small town of Randers, Denmark.

The Danish Graceland will open before April 2011 and will house more than 600 memorabilia items including guitars, letters, contracts and clothes. There will also be a store, restaurant and movie theater.

It’s estimated that 75,000 to 125,000 mostly European fans will visit the Danish Graceland every year. One U.K. tour operator has already predicted that more than 10,000 British Elvis fans will visit the Danish Graceland every year.

Note: Just recently Henrik Knudsen of Graceland Randers in Denmark was totally suprised that another Elvis organization bought two domain names for their brand: www.gracelandranders.com  and www.gracelandranders.eu
