History
Established in 2016.
Two Kentuckians, one from Eastern Kentucky and one from Western Kentucky, met in the middle and established a specialty retail store to showcase all things people love about Kentucky. This includes UK sports, equestrian-themed products, and bourbon-related goods, to name a few. Kentucky Branded has three locations; one behind the mall, one inside the mall, and one in Hamburg, or you can shop online at kentuckybranded.com.
