— -- Reese Witherspoon has been to plenty of openings but never one like this.

The Oscar winner, 39, launched her first-ever retail store, Draper James, in her hometown of Nashville Wednesday. She also gave fans a peek at the Southern-inspired clothing, accessories and home goods shop with plenty of snaps on Twitter.

"Welcome to the first ever Draper James store folk!!! #DJDebut #Nashville #AboutLastNight," the "Wild" actress captioned one photo of her standing behind a counter, looking ecstatic.
