The Massachusetts Package Stores Association ("MASSPACK") is a not-for-profit trade group representing Massachusetts headquartered beer, wine, and spirits retail stores. 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 where the role as a gatekeeper against illegal sales is taken very seriously. The MASSPACK motto is Strength in Unity. MASSPACK supports its members with a full time lobbyist for legislative and governmental issues, legal information, educational services such as beverage alcohol training and member benefit programs such as Workers Compensation and Health Insurance. MASSPACK additionally offers a number of discount programs to help cut costs. (click to learn more)
