Some Army and Air Force Exchange Service facilities shut down Wednesday to move into the new Base Exchange which opens 9 a.m. Thursday next to the base commissary.
Operations affected include: The BX and BXtra, military clothing sales, GNC, the barber and beauty shops, the floral shop, the optical shop, laundry and dry cleaning and H&R Block.
Base AAFES officials apologized for the inconvenience of the closures, but they are necessary to ensure full service at the new facility.
“The new store will not only have these operations but a whole lot more” said Pam Honor, AAFES general manager. “Come see us at our new location on Thursday at 0900. We are ready to serve you.”
The new 122,000-square-foot mall puts all major base AAFES shopping facilities under one roof. In addition to main exchange, BXtra and Military Clothing Sales, the new building will house specialty stores Game Stop, Sports Shop and Décor Shop. The mall’s expanded 192-seat food court adds Starbucks, Charley’s and Taco Bell to old favorites Anthony’s Pizza and Robin Hood.
More space equals improved convenience, better product selection and a better shopping experience, according to AAFES officials. That experience will include one-stop shopping, wider aisles and expanded selection with 18 check-out registers including one in the new outdoor living area and two at the Power Zone counter.
According to officials, customers will also see increased selection in all departments of the 62,000-square-foot sales floor, including expansion of the young men’s area, a new Power Zone Control counter and new Ashley furniture line.
