BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. --  The Barksdale Military Clothing Sales is open for business at their new location located inside the base exchange.

For the past year, Barksdale's Military Clothing Sales was in a temporary trailer located behind the Base Exchange. It has now moved where the old dry cleaners was located at the south end of the Base Exchange.

The move was necessary in order to provide a one-stop-shop for Airmen at the base. Airmen are already making the transition and making purchases at the new location.
"It was much easier to find what I needed at the new store," said Airman 1st Class Joycelyn Potter, 2nd Maintenance Squadron. "It was put together well and it wasn't hard to find what I needed. I didn't feel cramped in the dressing room which was great."
The new location not only has increased floor space for easier shopping, but also features wider aisles and multiple shelves to allow all merchandise to be easily displayed.

The most anticipated addition to the new facility is the alterations shop located inside Military Clothing Sales.

"Alterations is in the clothing store so I was able to purchase my item and then walk right over to get my adjustments," she continued. "It was very convenient; overall, I would have to say the new clothing store was a pleasant shopping experience."

According to Dwight Scott, Military Clothing Sales manager, his workers are happy with the new move and feel it will be a huge benefit to the Airmen.

"We now have one place where the customers can shop versus having to go to multiple locations, which is a huge convenience to our customers. It will also help with our civilians, retirees, and reservists who come on the weekends," said Mr. Dwight Scott, Military Clothing Sales manager.

Barksdale's Military Clothing Sales store hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hours are subject to change without notice. For more information contact 746-6429.
