package store
Licensed alcohol retailer
A package store is a retail shop that sells alcoholic beverages in sealed containers for consumption off the premises—liquor, wine, and beer to take home rather than drink on-site.
The term is regional, used mainly in the northeastern United States: I need to stop by the package store before the party.
Elsewhere the same business might be called a liquor store or bottle shop.
