Unlike a crowded, understaffed grocery store, your local package store is built for a better shopping experience—helpful staff, great selection, and no long checkout lines. Why change that? #CTSmallBiz#ShopSmart
Supermarkets should focus on food, not taking business away from local retailers. Package stores are experts in their field—why let big corporations push them out? #CTSmallBiz#SaveLocalRetail
Your neighborhood package store takes responsible alcohol sales seriously. Overloaded grocery store clerks ringing up hundreds of items? Not so much. Keep alcohol sales in the hands of trained professionals. #ResponsibleSales#ShopLocal
"Rather than dismantling a system that works, Connecticut should continue to refine and support its alcohol distribution model, ensuring that it remains fair, accessible and safe." #ifitaintbroke💪https://t.co/WiAcakQvea
When big box stores get their way, small businesses get left behind. Letting them sell wine is just the first step toward corporate takeovers. Let’s stop this before it’s too late. #StopTheCorporateGrab
Wine is already widely available at local, family-owned package stores. This isn’t about consumer choice—it’s about corporations grabbing even more cash. Let’s stop the power grab. #CTSmallBiz#SupportLocal
Connecticut’s alcohol laws support strong, healthy local businesses. Why change the rules to favor big box stores over the stores that have served our communities for generations? #SupportLocal#IfItAintBrokeDontFixIt
This week, our “Don’t Let Big Box Supermarkets Break Us,” posters started hitting stores across CT. If you see one in your local package store, please take 5 minutes to sign up today. We’re going to need your support to help us protect our neighborhood package stores. Stay tuned!
