Following an official opening ceremony, Nick Gibb visited the newly refurbished North Bersted post office and convenience store.
Mr Gibb said: "It is always a pleasure to see the fruits of a major investment. Ragin and Roshni Patel have invested a considerable sum of money to upgrade their shop and post office to a very high standard. This well-stocked and beautifully fitted out new shop will be welcome to Bersted residents and I wish the Patels the success they deserve."
