Or "Packies", as the local yokels in Newburyport persist in calling them.. I always assumed that this was a euphemism. As seen from outside, customers enter the stores, and come out holding packages, hence it can be explained as a "package store", saving the explainer from having to admit shamefully that it sells the demon rum. I don't have any evidence for this but it's the only explanation I could come up with.
