Our customers really appreciate the ability to buy stamps and pick up their mail while they shop in our store. Our store has become a community gathering place for neighbors to interact. — Don Shamsie, owner, DJ’s General Store, Bigelow, AR
I opened a Village Post Office to add greater visibility for our café and increase customer visits. I also did it for the community, to provide convenient access to receive and send their mail. — Scott Dugan, owner, Kenosha Café, Grant, CO
Customers appreciate the convenient 24-hour access to their mailboxes. They also like our extended store hours, providing more time to buy stamps or other postal products. — Cheryl Kim, owner, Red’s Hop N’ Market, Malone, WA
The Village Post Office is a great opportunity for businesses and their customers. It helps us by increasing customer visits.
