While the economy may have forced some retailers to scale back on merchandise or services, the Army & Air Force Exchange Ser- vice is actively seeking the assis- tance of local businesses to in- crease the product selection troops and their Families find at their Ex- change. Some shoppers drive up to 40 miles or more to come to the Fort Drum Exchange, said Ken Limtiaco, Ex- change general manager. The ad- dition of local, small, minority, women- and veteran-owned busi- nesses can help provide the diver- sity, value and innovation to fur- ther enhance their shopping ex- perience. Partner businesses, called conces- sions, operate in Exchange- provided space, primarily in the retail mall area. Benefits include contracts based on a percentage of revenue, a variety of space and merchandising setups and the convenience of being located with the anchor retail store and food outlets. The Exchange also will assist in marketing and promoting partner businesses to help maxi- mize awareness on and around Fort Drum. Despite the economic conditions weve experienced recently, Ex- change shoppers have continued to demonstrate a strong demand for new and unique merchandise, Limtiaco said. Partnering with the Exchange provides local busi- nesses exposure to a great deal of foot traffic as well as the opportu- nity to serve military Families. For more information on how to partner with the Exchange as a concessionaire, visit www.shopmyexchange.com or contact Della Hannah, Exchange service business manager, at 773- 5633.
