During the holiday season, the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) encourages eligible patrons to take advantage of expanded operating hours for more access to significant savings and festive deals.

“Your commissary is open and ready to help you stretch your dollars further with savings of at least 25 percent as you shop for your holiday meals,” said Ed Walters III, acting executive director of DeCA’s Store Operations Group.

STORE HOURS

Commissaries will be open for holiday hours — closing at 4 p.m. — on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, and close two hours early on New Year’s Eve, Dec. 31.

All commissaries will be closed on Thanksgiving (Nov. 27), Christmas (Dec. 25) and New Year’s Day (Jan. 1). Commissaries that open five days per week — Monday through Friday — will be open the day closest to Thanksgiving (Nov. 26) and Christmas (Dec. 24). Patrons are reminded to check the “Store Information & Holiday Hours” box on their store’s webpage for specific operating schedules.

PLANNING SHOPPING TRIPS

Check your store hours and take advantage of your hard-earned benefit to make your holiday shopping simple, affordable and stress-free,” Walters said.

“Plan your shopping trips and use your commissary benefit to take advantage of huge savings, our holiday-themed products and Commissary CLICK2GO, our online shopping/curbside pickup service,” he added.
