AAFES Opens New Dessert Eatery

• FORT KNOX, Ky. 

In early March, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) is bringing a new dessert eatery here to the base.  

New vendor Boba Plus was originally located in Elizabethtown, Ky,, but recently signed a two-year food agreement with the Exchange to do business on the base.  

 When it opens on March 3, it will be located on Eisenhower Avenue in the Mini-Mall next to Burger King.  

 “Here at AAFES, we look at options that are not currently being offered on the installation to give our customers on the installation a good variety,” said Ace Cummings, AAFES service business manager. “Boba Plus has always been on our radar.” 

 AFFORDABLE MENU 

According to Cummings, the shop will serve a variety of boba teas — a unique blend of tea, milk, sugar and chewy tapioca pearls — and desserts such as crepes and waffle pastries with a multitude of available toppings and fillings. 

 “When we bring in vendor partners, what we like to do is provide the pricing needs to match our clientele, and we need to provide a savings for our military members and families,” Cummings said. 

 Drinks will range from $5 to $8 depending on size, and desserts will start at around $2 each.
