Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley are opening a free grocery store in Nashville. 'We want to help people in this gap where they're trying to get back on their feet and they just need a little bit of extra help.'
The Store will operate like any other market: Customers will walk through the aisles to pick out their own fruits, vegetables, cereal and the rest of their groceries and check out at the register.The main difference is that no money changes hands. Paisley joked that even the mechanical horse outside will be free.He told the crowd at the groundbreaking ceremony that the goal was to take away"the sting of embarrassment" that families may feel because they need help.
The couple partnered with Belmont University, where Paisley went to college, and The Store is being built next to the school's ministry center."We love this idea of a free grocery store where people can come in and make choices for their families and kids can see their parents in a position of power making choices for the family," Williams-Paisley said.
