Shop Local Kentucky is Kentucky's apparel brand. We believe life is better in Kentucky, so in 2013 we (Rick & Joni Paynter) started printing and selling t-shirt via the interwebs out of our garage in Georgetown, Kentucky. The first 100 shirts had one mission. Raise some money for a good cause. We printed them up, put them online, and sold out in 10 minutes. Boom. $2000 bucks straight to a local non-profit. Well. That escalated quickly. We decided to do a few more tees, then some festivals, then a few more tees, then open a store, print some more tees, have a car drive through our store (twice), print some more tees, branch out into other awesome apparel for Kentuckians, then raise a little more money for charity... Like $500,000 bucks in the last 5 years going to various causes across the Commonwealth and beyond. Turns out we were right. Life is better in Kentucky. So, today we do what we have done best since 2013. We turn out the buttery softest, coolest apparel inspired by home sweet home Kentucky.
