A Family’s Journey to Open Georgia’s First Contactless Grocery Store: The Hemmings and Nourish and Bloom Market

A Family’s Journey to Open Georgia’s First Contactless Grocery Store: The Hemmings and Nourish and Bloom Market

by | Jun 9, 2023

The Hemmings family has achieved an incredible feat in making everyday grocery shopping easier and much safer. Their newest endeavor, Nourish and Bloom Market, is Georgia’s first contactless grocery store, available 24 hours a day and featuring a range of modern innovations designed to leave customers feeling both comfortable and convenient. Supported by eldest son Jabari who has autism, the family looks forward to providing top-notch shopping experiences for Fayetteville locals backed by touchless checkout, automatic delivery robots, and a range of food items paired with restaurant dining and unique coffee creations.

The Hemmings family’s entrepreneurial efforts have been rewarded with the opening of Nourish and Bloom Market, Georgia’s first contactless grocery store. Supported by their oldest son Jabari, who was diagnosed with autism at age two, Jamie and Jilea Hemmings opened the store, which will be operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. With pride, they look forward to providing the Fayetteville community with a convenient shopping experience that meets their needs.

Nourish and Bloom Market allows customers to scan a QR code to access the store, and cameras and weight-sensitive shelves help track the customer’s items. Additionally, employees are available for traditional checkout and assist with contactless checkout. To top it all off, the store features a state-of-the-art coffee machine, a bistro serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and an array of temperature-controlled delivery robots that can travel up to three miles – making an entirely contactless grocery experience possible.

Jamie Hemmings and their family have revolutionized grocery shopping with their innovative approach by making it safe, fast, and convenient.

Through their store, they have also made it their mission to help the community, especially children with autism, by supporting a healthy diet. The Hemmings have partnered with some of the world’s biggest companies including Coca-Cola and Microsoft to help teach kids and teens STEM-based learning. This has been an inspiring example of how one family is making a real difference in their new home in Atlanta.

They are proud to be at the forefront of what technology looks like for Black and brown young children, embracing them through robotics, AI, and autonomy, showing them that this is the future.

Atlanta has been in the national news for the launch of new businesses and startups, creating job opportunities, which is essential for creating generational wealth and expanding offerings. Jamie and Jilea Hemmings are now looking to open up to 400 Nourish and Bloom stores nationwide, starting with their Fayetteville location that opened last January 21. It is all part of their mission to ensure that their son, Jabari, will be taken care of after they are gone.

The Hemmings family has gone above and beyond to revolutionize the grocery shopping experience with their Nourish and Bloom Market. By combining contactless technology and temperature-controlled delivery robots, Jamie and Jilea have provided flexibility and convenience for Fayetteville shoppers that are both safe and efficient. With this successful and innovative store open 24/7, Jabari’s entrepreneurial endeavors will certainly be rewarded in the community for years to come.
