(US) A retail store that sells alcoholic beverages, specifically one in which only sealed containers may be sold for consumption off the premises.

It’s not like there was any shortage of booze in Eloe. There were package stores and churches every hundred feet.

Origin: From the state laws of Connecticut and Georgia which declare that purchased liquor must be in a sealed container or removed from the premises in a bag or other package. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
