PostShop
This is a product name, as is "Post i butikk", so I'm not sure whether this should be translated. Depends on the context, so you would know best. But Posten have their own translation for it:" New post centre opens in Haugesund The forerunner of the future "PostShop" ("Posthandel") opens in renovated premises.."
Example sentence:
Post i butikk er et konsept som brukes i flere land for å forsøke å finne en balanse mellom muligheten til å få utført tjenester hos postverket og nødvendigheten av at driften skal være økonomisk lønnsom.
