Bowling Green Postal Units Open for Business

Ribbon Cutting and Open Houses Set for April

BOWLING GREEN, KY — Residents in Bowling Green now have more choices when it comes to fulfilling their postal needs. And the city is rolling out the red carpet to celebrate the opening of the two contract postal units (CPUs).

A grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, April 23 at CD Warehouse, 741 Campbell Lane. A similar ceremony will be held on the same day at 1 p.m. at the Tobacco Store, 5222 Louisville Road. Refreshments will be served and the public is invited to attend.

The CPUs will provide a full range of postal services at Post Office prices with the exception of money orders, says Bowling Green Supervisor Haydon Pillow. “The CD Warehouse and Tobacco Store locations are another way we’re extending our services and making it more convenient to do business with us,” added Pillow.

CD Warehouse owner Scott Lesh and Tobacco Store owner Barry Young will join Pillow, along with other local dignitaries, to dedicate the new facilities. Both locations are excited about partnering with the Postal Service. They’re both strategically located in busy areas of town.

The CD Warehouse CPU will operate from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The Tobacco Store CPU will operate from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Both locations will serve as a collection point for prepaid packages.

Pillow and his staff at the Bowling Green Post Office invite customers to attend the open houses to learn more about the services offered at these new locations.
