Welcome to the Connecticut Package Stores Association!
The Voice of the Retail Liquor Industry in Connecticut
Why Join CPSA?
The Connecticut Package Stores Association (CPSA) is your trade organization that fights legislation that negatively affects your business. We also advocate for legislation that makes your business environment better. We are the only entity at the capitol that advocates for package stores.
In the past twenty years, CPSA lobbyists defeated several bills for year round Sunday sales, and an initiative for wine in food stores. We have been fighting these issues constantly and will continue to. However, we need you as a member in order to stay strong as an organization, so support CPSA because we are working for you!
Without CPSA nothing would stand in the way of major changes for the
benefit of other interest groups other than package stores. We need you
as a member to stay strong as an organization. Membership dues for
package stores are $250 per year. If you are interested in joining,
please fill out the application form and return it to our office with
payment. No one of us is as strong as all of us!
