She said the service could be available evenings and on week-ends. She said in some cases it's available 24 hours, seven- days a week. Nicholson said the retail outlet would complement the service already supplied by the existing corporate corporate post office. Futher, she said there would be no cut-back of staff at the existing office nor to her knowledge was there any intention of closing the existing office.
