Ken and Lorraine retired last month after 12 years at the Brixington Village Shops and now the business has moved - about 20 metres to the left into Budgens.
The new Post Office will continue to offer full banking services, open a third window, open all day Wednesday and during lunch.
Former Postmaster Ken Brighton said: "We wish Lucy and David every success in their new venture and good luck for the future.
