The 1,130-square-foot Bath & Body Works is the latest store to open at the Exchange\u2019s new Fort Lewis shopping center.

A base pharmacy, UPS, Patriot Tactical and several restaurants are expected to open in the coming months. The entire project will be completed in 2021 and will total about $70 million, $68 million of which was funded by the Exchange. (The $2 million from the services support the Military Clothing Store and the base pharmacy.)<\/p>\n

\"JBLM100% of Exchange earnings are reinvested in the military community through support for on-base Quality-of-Life programs as well as capital improvements such as the new shopping center. In 2019, shopping the JBLM Exchange generated more than $4.3 million for Quality-of-Life programs at the base.<\/p>\n

The store is open 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday to Saturday. For more information, call 253-964-3161. The Fort Lewis Exchange is at Building 5280, Pendleton Avenue.<\/p>\n
