BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- The 44-year old Beale Air Force Base Exchange is welcoming military personnel and their families Feb. 25, 2016, after seven months of renovation.

The approximate $1.9 million project included new flooring, a floor plan to accommodate an expanded product line, new displays and a new central checkout location.

"The store's new layout is an essential improvement," said Mary Omler, BX general manager. "During this entire process, Team Beale has been very supportive and now we can provide them a better shopping experience."

After the ribbon cutting, customers walked into a remodeled BX to view the changes and participate in the grand reopening activities.

"Today is a culmination of a significant amount of hard work, dedication and vision to care for our Airmen and their families," said Command Chief Master Sgt. Randall Kwiatkowski.
