The U.S. Postal Service is opening a full-service, privately contracted Post Office inside the Harmons Grocery Store at Brickyard Plaza, 3270 S. 1300 East, in Salt Lake City. Hours of operation are from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.
The public is invited to a grand-opening celebration at 1 p.m. Thursday.
"We're teaming up with stores like Harmons so customers can do postal business at places where they already shop," said Acting Salt Lake City Postmaster Charley Wright. "Contract postal locations offer virtually all of the services you would find at a Post Office, and the prices are the same."
All 14 Harmons Grocery Stores offer basic postal services at customer-service booths, and the chain is looking into providing full-service contract Post Offices at more store locations when possible, said Bob Harmon, the Utah-based chain's co-owner.
