LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Smoketown neighborhood now has more options for fresh, local food.
Locals Food Hub and Pizza Pub is a spot for people to grab a bite to eat and have access to a small grocery in the area. Now, the business accepts SNAP and Kentucky Double Dollars.
The co-owner, Birch Bragg, said the food used in the restaurant is heavily sourced from local farm, and the food in the grocery store is 100% locally and regionally sourced.
Bragg also said Smoketown was the perfect place to open.
"We chose Smoketown specifically because it is a USDA food desert, traditionally underserved neighborhood, no access to great produce or nutrient rich foods," Bragg said.
Locals Food Hub and Pizza Pub is located at 822 East Broadway and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. There is also a location in Frankfort.
