Genesee Cream Ale

Still make it. Here is the website with history and all. In Worcester it is one of the cheaper 30 pacs you can buy along with Coors Extra Gold or Pabst. If you ask me one of the best deals you can get out 20 pacs of Busch and Busch Light 20 pac bottles at 9.99 plus deposit at Randell Package Store.

Bill, you have to get some finer stock in there sir.

Gabe:

I actually do not carry any of those 30 pacs. The Busch 20 pacs are my low prices leader.

My number one seller by far, however, is Heineken.

I wonder if I could get a push cart license to sell them. I know where I'd park it!

My dad used to tell me Worc once had a few breweries and one of them was Tadcaster Ale, down in the Green Island area.

A former and now deceased city official worked there prior to getting on the city.

I know the neighborhood is rough but the one time I went into Randell's Liquior store I walked right back out. Sorry man but nothing I would drink if you paid me..
Build it and they will come...Like a classy liquor store!!!!
I live only 500 feet from there and how nice would that be if I did not have to go across town...sighhh
My folks drank Busch while I was growing up and I always thought of it as the official piss in a can..My stepfather has graduated to a better beer...
Much love

The Worcester Airport Commission has proven that the above statement is absolutely false.

I'm reasonably sure that Randell Package Store exists to make money, not to keep useless people employed.

Bill, maybe you should hire a consultant to do a study.

Seriously, Randell Package Store serves the needs of the community. Stocking up on slow moving items only helps the distributor.

I agree Randell's is serving the clientele of the neighborHOOD.

Since Randell's is the closest package store to The University Park Lofts perhaps once this building is full we will have enough people within a 30 second walk to merit one shelf of one cooler that carries so micro brews!

Bill Randell said...

Hey I will carry whatever sells. Bottom line is that when you have limited space you can only carry what turns over fast.

Simply do not have enough space to carry a proper selection of microbrew so I really pass on the stuff.

Believe me I would carry Dixie Voodoo Black. For my friend Harry consider it done. Open to suggestions

Liquor stores are one of the most interesting businesses to me when it comes to gentrification.

I was in my apartment for about a month when I had some people over for some pregame before a show at the DCU. I went down to Bancroft Liquors to get some beer for the festivities and the best I could find by far was Sam Cherry Wheat. I asked the guy behind the counter if as the neighborhood improved would he be improving his stock to reflect the tastes of the neighborhood.

The guy looked at me like I was the biggest asshole who had ever stepped foot in his store. By the way Mayo chose not to renew his lease. I wonder if he changed his main stock from nips and 40's to microbrews and scotch if they would have considered letting him stay.

Kirch is another one that I wonder how it will change in the coming years. McGovern's and Kelley Sq too.

Bill Randell said...

Jay from Bancroft was perhaps one of the most unhappy person's I have ever met running any kind of business.

The problem for small stores and microbrews is that your typical microbrew customer wants choices. Tons of choices.

Too have tons of choices, you need lots of room. As a result small stores like mine can not come close to filling the need so we punt on it.

Guinness and Irish Whiskey would have been better
