A mobile postal unit will open Friday, June 1, on the site of the Greensburg, Kan. Post Office, 139 N. Main St, which was destroyed by a tornado. The hours of operation will be 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays. These are the same hours the Post Office was open before the tornado.

The mobile unit will offer a full line of postal services. In addition, approximately 200 cluster box units (CBUs) are being installed on the property along with a blue collection box.

Greensburg area postal customers, whose mail delivery was affected by the tornado, may apply for one of the new mailboxes at the mobile unit.

Saturday hours for the Pratt Post Office will be 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., which is a change from the hours posted prior to reestablishing services at the new Greensburg Mobile Postal Unit.
