POSTAL SERVICE TO RELOCATE IN CAPE GIRARDEAU

284 Christine - Cape Girardeau, MO

Cape Girardeau stamp buyers, post office box holders and retail customers will have a new Cape Girardeau Post Office location in the very near future.

  The Cape Post Office will relocate it’s retail operation from 320 N. Frederick Street to Christine Corner, which is located at the corner of Good Hope and Christine Street, just south of William Street and the Town Plaza.  The facility is also just one block east of Kingshighway. The relocation will be the first for Cape Postal customers in 38 years.

  Structural roof problems at the existing Post Office has necessitated the temporary move according to local Postmaster, Mike Keefe.  The letter carriers had already been relocated to the regional processing center on Kell Farm Drive, just off of Bloomfield Road since January because of the roofing concerns.

  Tom Kelsey, commercial broker with Lorimont Place, Ltd., who handled the leasing transaction at the Christine Street location owned by the Clybourn Company, said the new retail operation would consist of nearly 5,000 square feet that will be modified to accommodate their operation.  The construction work on the space has already begun and the entire retail operation will be moved from Frederick Street as soon as possible.

  Kelsey said Postal Service officials looked at several locations to move to and settled on the space at 284 Christine Street because of it’s central location, suitability for it’s operational needs and immediate availability for occupancy.
