283<p><font face="Times New Roman, serif">MASSPACK represents Massachusetts headquartered beer, wine, and spirits retail stores across the state. They are the package stores, convenience stores, variety gas and mini-marts, private markets, bodegas, and wine shops who comprise the &#8220;Main Street&#8221; business districts in every Massachusetts city and town. Many of them are second and third generation family businesses. Over half are minority owned businesses. Frequently taken for granted is that these locally owned companies are invested in their communities where the role as a gatekeeper against illegal sales is taken very seriously.</font></p>

285<p><strong><font color="#806000">Safeguarding Public Safety</font></strong></p>
286
287<p><font style="font-size: 15px;">The beverage alcohol three-tier system of Massachusetts has been disrupted, and is being usurped by large alcohol suppliers, brewers, out of state headquartered retail chains and out of state shipping. MASSPACK supports and upholds public safety by defending against chronic industry disruptors on behalf of locally owned stores and the communities they serve. MASSPACK works with federal, state, and local officials to ensure that alcoholic beverages retailers can continue to operate while safely meeting consumer needs.</font><font style="font-size: 15px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</font><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>
