"It’s everything I wanted," Gunna said as he surprised students and attended the store's grand opening."I’m going to continue to keep giving back."
Goodr's founder, Jasmine Crowe, said Gunna approached the start-up with the desire to build something in his former middle school and the grocery store was born.Hip-hop artist Gunnar poses with Goodr founder Jasmine Crowe at the grand opening of Gunna's Drip Closet and Goodr Grocery Store at McNair Middle School on Sept. 16, 2021.
The store at McNair Middle School contains fresh produce and options for different diets, including vegan, as well as packaged foods, canned vegetables and frozen foods that kids can make on their own, which Crowe said was a priority."You have to meet kids where they are," she said."We have children that are going to be preparing the food, so it had to be things that not only children and youth want, but also things that they could easily make.
The variety of options now available for free will be a life-changing opportunity for students and their families, according to John T. Madden Jr., principal of McNair Middle School. "At 12 or 13, they've seen a lot that we've seen never seen in our lifetimes, and they have adult roles when they're outside of school," said Madden."That's a battle that we fight."Hip-hop artist Gunnar walks with McNair Middle School principal John T.
