Article in Next, Barking store primarily for southerners (6)
I believe the answer is:
texans
'southerners' is the definition.
'article in next barking store primarily' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'a' (indefinite article).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'barking' is an anagram indicator (UK slang for mad).
'primarily' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'store' is 's'.
'next' is an anagram of 'texn'.
'a' inserted into 'texn' is 'texan'.
'texan'+'s'='TEXANS'
'for' is the link.
(Another definition for texans that I've seen is " People from Dallas?".)
