US Mart, a general store in Venice, which sells items made only in America, is the newest location for a United States Village Post Office as of Friday, November 15th, 2013.
“I understand a need for convenience and practicality when shopping in our area, and as a small business owner, I am all about offering whatever I can to better this community,” said Dr. Molly Kraut, owner of US Mart. “When I heard about the option to open a post office right at the store, I knew our existing customers would love this service, and that new customers would enjoy the convenience as well. I’m proud to be one of only a few places in Florida that offer these services.”
