General information

Family Serving Family since 1895!

Since 1895, the Exchange's mission has been to support the men and women of the armed forces during military operations, humanitarian missions and other endeavors around the world.

"WE GO WHERE YOU GO" epitomizes the Exchange's mission, particularly when our service members are stationed away from American shores.

At war and in peacetime, the Exchange provides Soldiers and Airmen with the services and merchandise they need to make their lives more comfortable. The Exchange also maintains services and support to family members and troops back home.

The Exchange's partnership with the Army's Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) programs and Air Force Services reflect loyalty and dedication to service members beyond cash registers.

The Exchange is one of the top 60 retail organizations in the U.S., with annual revenue of $8.5B and employing about 35,000 associates, including a small contingent of military. The Exchange operates department and convenience stores, gas stations, restaurants, theaters, vending and other businesses on military installations in all 50 states, five U.S. territories and 33 countries.
