The grand re-opening event for the Exchange Main Store at White Sands Missile Range occurred on May 14. The event featured the Commanding General of White Sands Missile Range, Brig. Gen. George C. Turner and Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Jamal N. Latore. In addition, JoAnne Cahalan, the Exchange General Manager for the region, was present on behalf of the Army and Air Force Exchange Service or AAFES.
The event celebrated the renovations completed at the store over the past year. Initially built in 1959 and previously renovated in 1999, the store now features a newly updated sales floor and offers customers a range of new retail options.
“With limited retail options available for service members, families and personnel at White Sands, today’s ceremony marks a significant step towards providing our community with improved retail, dining and convenience choices,” said Cahalan.
Attendees enjoyed samplings from Hunt Brothers’ Pizza, Subway, and Snack Avenue, along with offerings from vendor partners like Heart of the Desert, Monster, and Body Armor.
“This renovation is awesome. I am tracking based on my research, there are roughly 100 PXs and BXs across the world, and this is the best one,” said Turner. “Congratulations on a job well done.”
