La Nacional, a locally beloved Hispanic-owned supermarket, has been nominated for the prestigious Best of The Barrens award, presented annually by WCLU.

The nomination recognizes La Nacional’s commitment to providing diverse and hard-to-find brands to the community of Barren County.

Since its inception in 2008 as a small store in Cave City, La Nacional has quickly become a staple in the community, offering a wide variety of Hispanic, Asian, and other specialty brands that were previously difficult to find in the area.

Their dedication to meeting the diverse culinary needs of residents has earned them a loyal customer base and widespread acclaim.

The supermarket’s success has been marked by its recent move to a much larger space in Glasgow, allowing them to expand their offerings and better serve their growing customer base.

It’s expansion last year stands as a testament to the overwhelming support and patronage of the community, whose unwavering backing has fueled La Nacional’s growth and success. In response to the nomination for the Best of The Barrens award, the owners of La Nacional expressed their gratitude to the community of Barren County.
