The Store, designed by ESa, opens second location at TriStar Centennial Medical Center

Continuing a meaningful partnership to bring dignity, access and choice to more families across Middle Tennessee.

We are proud to share the opening of The Store’s second location, which officially opened on January 14 on the campus of TriStar Centennial Medical Center, part of HCA Healthcare. Located on the ground level of TriStar Centennial’s B Garage, the new space was made possible through generous corporate and private donations.

ESa has been a long-term partner of The Store, having designed the original location on Belmont University’s campus when it opened in 2020. Continuing that partnership, ESa provided architectural services for this second storefront, reinforcing our shared commitment to dignity, access and community impact.

Co-founded by Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, The Store is a nonprofit, referral-based grocery store that empowers families and individuals through dignity, choice and access, allowing shoppers to select fresh produce, healthy proteins, dairy and pantry staples tailored to their needs. The thoughtfully designed space supports efficient operations while creating a welcoming, respectful experience for every customer.

Since its founding, The Store has served a growing number of families across Middle Tennessee, including more than 2,200 families in 2025 alone. As demand continues to rise, this second location will more than double the number of families served.

We are honored to continue this meaningful partnership and to support a mission where thoughtful design helps strengthen communities.
