Highway 138 Package Store

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly! Loved this store! The prices are decent and they have a great selection!

Was on my way to visit my brother in law and didn’t have a gift for him. Found this place conveniently on the way south! I walked in and was highly impressed with their liquor selection and also the prices. They’ve got all of the cognacs that I like (henessy, remy Martin 1738, etc). The guy that I called on the phone gave pretty clear directions and was professional. They actually just have a massive selection of ALCOHOL period! You’ll probably fine almost everything you’re looking there. Check it out.

I would have liked to give them a higher score, except two things. One, I brought a roach home from one of their boxes. Thank God my floor is lightly dusted with boric acid, so it crawled a few feet and died.
Second is one of the employees totally lied to me. This person does not know me, so it was extremely insulting that he would assume that someone is stupid based on appearances.
I was buying eggnog during the whole holiday season. Twice a week, coming to their store, buying at least 4 bottles plus other liqours. I settled on their store because they are well placed, large parking lot, well stocked, and the less seedy of other stores within a 10 mile radius. I see regular people shopping, not a bunch of drunks like a package store in Jonesboro…
Anyway — I went there the Sunday after Christmas, because an employee told me eggnog would be sold there until after the new year. The place was packed to the rafters with all kinds of eggnog — the whole season they were packed like that. I bought a few, and came back that Tuesday. Not a bottle in the whole joint, dry as a bone. The spaces were there — even in the freezer, but not one bottle. It was obviously pulled.
Just to confirm I asked one of the employees and told him I was informed they would be selling eggnog until after the new years. He actually looked me in my eyes and said «We sold out…» I have no clue why he felt he had to lie, which made me extra furious. Just say we pulled it — what’s with the uneccesary lie???
After that lie, I started looking for another place, and I found the Stockbridge Bottle Shop, which is at the opposite side of 138, to the right of Walmart a couple blocks down. They are clean, quiet nice professional acting adults working there — and they still carried eggnog until a week after New Years. Most important, I don’t feel like they are the type that will just lie to a customer for no reason.

This place has some interesting patrons, music, and employees. They are convienent to the interstate and have some of the best priced drinks.

They do carry quite a big selection but why do I hear the song «I’m so hood» everything I walk in this place. Eagle’s Landing Bottle Shop has the same large selection all without me feeling like I need to get a shot for hepatitis B. Staff truly can’t be bother to stop eating to help. All in all this does not make an effective combo for me wanting to return.

Your average decent package store. Good selection of beer. Not as many individual bottles as I’d like but great nonetheless.

This place rules! Every time I head down to the southside to rage with my homeboy I stop here to pick up a case of Saporo. They’re cheap, they have a huge selection of stuff, and that cutie patootie tattooed cashier always makes great conversations with me. This place is as good as it gets. Go get some.

If you live in Jonesboro closer to Tara Blvd then you should consider driving on over to this Package store to try it out. They carry a large variety of alcoholic beverages and they are much cheaper than the one’s in the Tara Blvd or Hwy 85 side of ClayCo.
I am often in Henry Co so I don’t really have to go out of my way just to come here. If you are in the Brandsmart/​Carmax/​Garden Ridge area then stop by and see what you think. Ample parking, Store is less than 10 years old (I think). Great deals when compared to those Tara Blvd locations.

138 Package Store
I frequently patronize the 138 Package Store because of their location, customer service, and product selection. I went to Bermuda last Summer and enjoyed Goslings Black Seal Rum. I was surprised and excited to learn that this rum is regularly stocked at 138 Package Store. Just last week I spent over $ 100 on the big bottle of Donjulio Tequila and some beer.
Last night, a friend and I went to 138 Package and had a bad customer service experience. We approached the counter to check out with an available cashier. This young lady with glasses and long red hair was standing at the register eating a bag of chips. (Retail 101 teaches sales staff not to eat or drink on the sales floor or at the cash register) She was facing us and never acknowledged us. We asked her if her register was open. She said yes and put away her chips to ring us up. She handed a bag to my friend for her to bag her own items. I asked to exchange one 99 cent bag of chips for another. She asked me to step aside so she could wait on the customers behind me. She also called the manager, Mike, up to the register to approve the exchange transaction. She rang up the customers behind me and placed their items in a bag. Mike came out and told her to just swap out my chips since they were the same price. I then told the cashier that I was waiting on her to bag my chips. She told me to wait until she was finished with the customers that were behind me. When she finished she handed me a bag instead of placing my chips in the bag. I asked her to call Mike back up to the counter.
I told Mike that this cashier had a bad attitude, provided us with poor customer service, and needed to be re-​trained. Mike offered up an excuse that she was not feeling well. He went back to the back as opposed to hanging out at the register to speak with the cashier.
This experience may have been an isolated incident. However, 138 Package should be aware that too many experiences like this will send business straight to their competition.
