The Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) is putting more flavor on the front line with a new online Restaurants and Food hub, a one-stop shop for dining options, Better-For-You (BFY) choices and other options for warfighters and military families.

The hub highlights 1,500 Exchange restaurants, Expresses and 24/7 self-service stores that support nutritional readiness with meals, snacks and beverages.

Visitors can also learn about tax-free savings and promotions on BE FIT-approved snacks, meals and beverages, as well as discounts on restaurant entrees.

“The Exchange’s restaurants, self-service stores and Expresses all have one purpose — to keep members of the military community fueled for the next mission,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Rich Martinez, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “This hub pulls those efforts together in one place so it’s easier to see where to eat, what’s on the menu and how the Exchange supports the nutritional readiness of warfighters every day.”

The hub also spotlights the Exchange’s school meal program, which serves 3.6 million nutritious breakfast and lunches annually to warfighters’ children at Department of War Education Activity (DoWEA) schools.

Exchange-operated bakeries in Europe and the Pacific provide whole-grain baked foods that help school meals meet federal nutritional standards.

The military community can also keep up with the latest food news from the Exchange with recent stories on grand openings, healthier options and other dining initiatives that support the military community.
