Pellville Community Post Office Open For Business

Ribbon Cutting and Open Houses Set For April

PELLVILLE, KY — Residents in Pellville now have more choices when it comes to fulfilling their postal needs. The city is rolling out the red carpet to celebrate the opening of its Community Post Office (CPO).

A grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, April 23 at the Pellville CPO located in the South Hancock Volunteer Fire Department, 12195 State Route 2181. Refreshments will be served and the public is invited to attend.

“The CPO will provide a full range of postal services at Post Office prices, including Postal Money Orders,” said Hawesville Postmaster Rebecca Weikel. “The Pellville CPO location is another way we’re extending our services and making it more convenient to do business with us.”

South Hancock Fire Chief Loren T. Newton will join Weikel and other local dignitaries to dedicate the new facility, which will operate from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Saturday. This location will serve as a collection point for prepaid packages.

Weikel and her staff at the Hawesville Post Office invite customers to attend the open houses to learn more about the services offered at this new location.
