The Store, a free-referral based grocery store co-founded by Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, hosted its third annual Toy Store, presented by Sam’s Club, over the weekend. Through generous donations from sponsors and donors across the U.S. families that The Store currently serves were able to shop for toys to provide Christmas gifts for more than 1000 children. Gift wrapping and traditional holiday festivities were also a part of the shopping experience.
The event was made possible with the help from 600 volunteers and the local community and generous sponsors who provided more than 5000 toys. This year’s sponsors included presenting sponsor Sam’s Club along with Asurion, Bridgestone Bunidos, Traci and Brian Calhoun, Compass, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Dollar General, Doughjo USA, Dunkin Joy Foundation, Events Plus, Flashing Stars Photobooth, Geodis, Gibson Gives, Guitars For Gifts, Hilton Garden Inn, Hyatt Place, Jazzwares, Katy’s Hallmark, Kroger, Learning Express Toys & Gifts, Robert’s Western World, Smart Art & Craft Supplies, Support & Feed, Tamburin Arnette, Inc., The Elf on the Shelf, The Getalong, True South Puzzle Co. and Units Moving and Portable Storage with a special thanks to Metro Parks Nashville for providing the event space.
The Store is set to open a second location in mid-January at TriStar Centennial Medical Center in Nashville.
