Since Fetpak is located in Commack, Long Island, NY we though you would be interested in learning about the place your packages are shipped from.

Comac, (sometimes spelled Commack, and formerly called Winne-Commack) is a pleasant crossroads village, situated in the eastern part of the town of Huntington on the Middle Country Road, or Smithtown Turnpike, and partly within the bounds of Smithtown. It is an ancient settlement, and is located in the midst of a rich agricultural district. The surface is level, or slightly rolling, and the soil heavy, and nearly every acre improved and under a high state of cultivation. The village contains 250 inhabitants, 2 churches, 2 schools, 2 stores, 2 hotels, a post office, and the celebrated horse training establishment of Carll Burr.  1874 by Richard Bayles

Did you really think that was Commack today? 

Today Commack is known for Bob Costas and Rosie O’Donnell (ouch).  But is that all we got?  Okay, we are also known for the famous or infamous Commack Motor Inn.  It’s well known across the region.  Let’s just say they have a drive up window.

The photo with the historic events post with the Commack Motor Inn behind just doesn’t do the historic post justice.  Those two things in the same photo are just all wrong.

Moving on, Commack is noted for….aaaaa, we’re thinking.  Actually we are noted for the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway, the first roadway designated for automobile use only.  The roadway opened in 1908 and was taken over by New York State in 1938 for back taxes.  Poor Vanderbilt’s, it’s tough being so poor.

Vanderbilt Motor Parkway in Commack actually still exists today, in fact it is a cross street to Austin Blvd the block Fetpak is located on.  Wow we are almost famous.

Other things Commack is well known for besides being in suburbia is being in the Hauppauge Industrial Park,

Mayfair Shopping Center…yes you are in suburbia.

which Fetpak is located in.  It’s the second largest Industrial Park in the USA. Anyone know what the first largest is?  Hey we are trying to get some feedback here.  How about a $10 discount on your next Fetpak order to the first person who guesses correctly?  Now we’re talking, right?

Commack Road, don’t we look so country? Not. Did we fool ya?

So now you know about Commack, isn’t it a great place to be, especially because when passing through you can stop in at Fetpak and browse our huge showroom loaded with Closeouts and samples of every item we stock.  Okay you caught us promoting Fetpak’s great deals.  Sorry about that.  🙂
