Guernsey Post is relocating the Town Post Office back to the Commercial Arcade.
It used to be at 7 Commercial Arcade “many years ago” and thanks to a few other changes in town, the opportunity arose for it to move back.
“We are looking forward to returning to Commercial Arcade, a location with historical ties to the Post Office and a strong central position in Town,” said Steve Sheridan, Chief Executive of Guernsey Post.
“This new site allows us to provide our full range of services in a more permanent and customer-friendly location. We look forward to welcoming customers into a refreshed space that reflects the evolving needs of our community.”
Until recently the building was home to the Coop pharmacy, but that has moved to the Coop at the Market Buildings, which until recently had a post office counter, which recently closed.
The town Post Office is currently in the former Information Centre on North Esplanade but it will move out of there in early July.
That building is being repurposed as the Victor Hugo Centre.
When the move happens, customers with a PO Box at North Plantation will be able to choose between relocating to either Envoy House or the new Town Post Office.
EBox customers at North Plantation will have their collection point moved to the Guille-Allès Library, which already operates an EBOX service.
Guernsey Post is also planning to reintroduce foreign currency services in town.
The new Commercial Arcade branch will also include Saturday opening hours, ensuring added convenience for customers.
Further details, including the confirmed opening date, will be published closer to the time.
