SCHOFIELD BARRACKS \u2013 The Army & Air Force Exchange Service debuted a fresh look at the Schofield Barracks PX with a $14.3 million renovation that brings modern convenience to military shoppers on the island.<\/p>\n

Schofield Barracks Garrison Commander Col. Rachel Sullivan and Command Sgt. Maj. Derek Wise joined General Manager David Swenson in cutting the ribbon Sept. 9 on the renovated PX.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to everyone for coming out today and helping celebrate the grand reopening of the Schofield Exchange. It\u2019s truly an honor to be here. The transformation is incredible\u2014it\u2019s amazing to see how beautiful this place is. I was stationed here in 2020, and I remember thinking, \u2018Some updates would be nice.\u2019 Coming back less than five years later and seeing this, I was blown away. Nanami (Taniguchi), I want to personally thank you for your leadership in overseeing this transformation, and a huge thank you to the entire team that has worked tirelessly to make it happen,\u201d said Col. Sullivan.<\/p>\n

The Schofield Barracks Exchange, which serves more than 98,000 active-duty service members, military families, retirees, service-connected disabled Veterans, and other authorized military shoppers, was built in 1994 and expanded in 2007. The last major renovation was in 2011. The upgrade started in October 2023 and was funded entirely by the Exchange.<\/p>\n

Updates to the main store include new flooring, LED lighting, signage, fixtures, and updated customer service and checkouts.<\/p>\n

The upgraded food court includes new flooring, lighting, updated restrooms, and fa\u00e7ade updates to Burger King and Charleys.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe primary purpose of the image upgrade was to enhance and improve the customer experience,\u201d Swenson said. \u201cOur main priority is to maintain a high-quality store for our military shoppers, and this upgrade brings that modern shopping experience to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shopping and dining at the Exchange support the Schofield Barracks community as 100% of Exchange earnings are reinvested in military communities through support for on-installation Quality-of-Life programs, as well as capital improvements like the recent renovations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
