Mr. Joe’s Package Store

     If you ever wander into the area of Quitman, Georgia and find you have a hankering for some type of an adult drink, then you need to stop by Mr. Joe’s Package Store. 

This family-owned business is American made and offers a ton of selections including a wine section, variety of spirits, beer, and wine coolers. Mr. Joe’s Package Store has a bit of everything a person could hope to find especially in selective wines and liquors. There is local distillery beers, liquors, and wines to choose from, imported, as well as a friendly atmosphere when you walk in. 

Owners Joe and his wife Mesheal Leverett have seven children, Christopher, Chandler, Meagan, Joseph, Aaron, and Mackenzie. Each of them played a role in creating this business and the elder children often help out there in the store. Joe stated, “We heard when Quitman City Council passed that liquor sales license earlier this year, 2022. My wife, Mesheal looked at me and told me we should build a liquor store.” As surprised as Joe was, he went with the idea and soon came up with a building design and décor that suited a liquor store. Soon after his design began to become a reality as work crews cleared the area and builders began building from ground up. 

Wide aisles stocked full in an organized fashion with rows of liquors and room to move around one another while browsing. A large walk-in beer cooler for all the name brand beer as well as the specialty brands and local brands. In the corner of the store a wine section specifically catering to all wines including a display wall. Large Jack Daniels barrels throughout the store and on the porch. 

Mr. Joe’s Package Store began stocking those shelves, coolers, and wall display only months after the store’s final piece was laid. They opened and since their opening they have added an ice box for customers and a drive thru for purchases.

Mr. Joe’s Package Store has a lot to offer, wants to help serve a need in the community they love. Joe Leverett has been a resident of Brooks County all his life, has served the community as a Paramedic, ER Nurse, and the local corner for 18 years. “I saw a need to bring revenue into our community and people always needed to spend that revenue in other counties. I thought it best to bring those funds and revenue back into the county,” said Joe.
