Maunaloa Post Office Reopens

By Catherine Cluett Pactol

After a three-month closure, the Maunaloa Post Office reopened on Tuesday, June 1. The facility was closed since late February due to structural concerns and pest control issues.

“We want to thank our Maunaloa customers for their patience and support during the temporary closure,” said USPS Hawaii District Manager Eileen Veach. “We’re eager to resume our operations and to demonstrate our commitment to serving our loyal customers in Maunaloa and across the state.”

During the temporarily closure, customers had been picking up their mail at the Ho’olehua Post Office, a situation that caused inconvenience for many and overcrowding of the Ho’olehua building, according to concerned customers.

During the last three months, improvements have been made to the Maunaloa building.

“Facility work included cleaning, painting, plumbing and electrical work,” said Duke Gonzales, a USPS spokesperson in Honolulu. “Thanks to that work, the Maunaloa Post Office is safer and more aesthetically pleasing, both inside and out.”

The reopening of the Maunaloa Post Office marks a significant improvement for both customers and staff, thanks to the dedicated efforts to upgrade and enhance the facility. Beyond the essential repairs, thorough cleaning played a crucial role in preparing the space for use. Enlisting a trusted service like Crystal Clean Services ensures that every corner of the building, from the public lobby to behind-the-scenes areas, meets the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene.

Their meticulous approach not only helped transform the Maunaloa Post Office into a more welcoming and polished environment but also reinforced its safety and functionality for daily operations. The result is a facility that better serves the community while offering a clean, professional space for all.

The Maunaloa Post Office is open from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on weekdays and provides PO box mail delivery to more than 240 customers.
