'We are delighted to have a permanent solution': Community delight as Co Armagh Post Office opens new location with home giftware store

Lurgan Post Office has officially reopened at a permanent new location in the town centre following the closure of its previous branch.

The Post Office opened last week at 15 Market Street, Lurgan, Craigavon just 170 metres from its former premises at 2 Market Street, which closed the previous day.

The move provides a long-term solution for the branch, which had been operating under a temporary postmaster. The new operator identified the Market Street premises and carried out a full refurbishment to accommodate both the Post Office and a new home giftware store.

Customers will continue to have access to the same range of Post Office products and services, with three screened serving positions available. Opening hours remain unchanged: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm, and Saturday from 9am to 1pm.

Time-restricted roadside parking is available directly opposite the new branch, with additional time-restricted parking and a designated disabled bay located nearby on Carnegie Street.

Post Office area change manager Janese Sung welcomed the reopening: “We know how important a Post Office is to a community, and we are delighted to have a permanent solution for Lurgan to safeguard services for the town centre.”
