Did you know there is a new Post Office Service Unit in Bossier City? Yep, it’s located inside the Gibsland Bank and Trust at their East Texas Street Branch. This is a welcomed convenience for the citizens of North Bossier. GBT Post Office is situated beside the Villaggio complex, it seems that it will also serve those in Haughton. The facility is a joint effort between the staff of Gibsland Bank and Trust and the United States Postal Service. The Bossier Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening of the new Post Office and GBT Chairman of the Board, J.R. Johnson said they are looking forward to great things in this partnership. There were quite a few Postal service employees on hand and Monica Minor, retail Specialist for the Post Office said that GBT looks to provide the best service for customers.

Not only is it convenient, but I hear the service is impeccable. Ms. Minor stated that Margie Johnson, Post Office Manager, is a “live wire” and shares a genuine concern for her customers. After speaking to her in person I found that her personality is bubbly, friendly and shows an eagerness to provide great customer service. The new Post Office provides all of the standard mailing and shipping services that you would find at the main Post Office. It’s nice to see that even in the struggling economy, the U.S. Postal Service is willing to expand services in our community.

The new Post Office is located at 5360 East Texas in the Gibsland Bank and Trust Building. Stop by to mail a package, pick up some stamps or send a letter and while you’re there, tell Margie you read my blog.

See ya around Bossier,
