where did the name package store come from
Liquor store In Alabama, Connecticut,[6] Georgia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Texas,[6] liquor stores are also known as package stores, locally in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and areas bordering these states the term pack or packie is used as well, because purchased liquor must be packaged in sealed bottles or other containers when it is taken from the store.[7]
ABC Stores (Hawaii) The chain was started by Sidney Kosasa, who opened his first store in Waikiki in 1964. The stores were originally named "Mister K." Later, in order to make the store name easier to remember, the name of the stores were changed to "ABC Stores." The last Mister K was changed to ABC in 2009.
