"Package goods" is a term used in the northeast US at least for liquor. In
Mass at least the law required that liquor when sold at retail must be put
into a container, hence "Package". Liquor stores were called "Package
Stores" and in the Boston area at least shortened colloquially to "Packie" .

Actually, this is part of the Branchburg Diner, the only part still
active. The Royal Diner was a separate establishment, farther west on
the same highway, but it closed years ago. They Royal had a liquor
license, which was somehow moved to this location. It now operates
mostly as a bar and liquor store, but also has some "snacks."
Comments, criticisms and suggestions welcome.
Love the Christmas lights - likely a year-round feature. I wonder
what the hell "package goods" are?
cheers,
frank
