The Massachusetts Package Stores Association ("MASSPACK") is a not-for-profit trade group representing Massachusetts headquartered beer, wine, and spirits retail stores. The MASSPACK motto is Strength in Unity. The membership are comprised from package stores, convenience stores, variety gas and mini-marts, private markets, bodegas, and wine stores in every Massachusetts city and town. Many member stores are second and third generation family businesses. Over half of them are minority owned businesses. Frequently taken for granted is that these small businesses are invested in their communities. They are also the primary gatekeepers against illegal alcohol sales. MASSPACK supports its members with a full time lobbyist firm, industry legal defense, beverage alcohol training and member benefit programs such as Workers Compensation and Health Insurance. MASSPACK additionally offers a number of discount programs for POS systems, ID scanners, inventory and liability insurance, and many other products, to help cut costs. (click to learn more)
