About Our Organization
Born from the rising need to have a united voice.

Our community operates more stores and continues to buy or open new businesses in the space than any other demographic. We are the face of Connecticut Package Stores. There has been no better time to unite our retailers for the sake of building a better industry so we can continue to offer Connecticut consumers the absolute best in adult beverages.

We believe it is important to be proactive in the process, not reactive.
Every passing year, States around the country look towards new changes in Liquor Law both large and small. As elected officials in various branches of Connecticut’s State Government continue to propose these changes, it is critical they understand the impact on your small business. We believe it is important to be proactive in the process, not reactive. As the largest stakeholder in the retail segment, our Membership deserves an equitable seat at the table of discussion. Through active participation and a strong lobbying presence, we ensure said equity and protect our interests.
