\"\"DALLAS <\/strong>\u2013 The Army & Air Force Exchange Service has recognized three Exchanges for not only being the best military shopping sources in their respective communities, but the best in the world.<\/p>\n

The UK East Consolidated<\/a>, Barksdale Air Force Base<\/a> and Selfridge Air National Guard Base<\/a> Exchanges were each named the winners of its most coveted award for operational excellence, the Director\/CEO Cup. The three stores were awarded trophies recognizing this achievement during the worldwide Main Store Managers\/General Managers Conference in Frisco, Texas, in March.<\/p>\n

The award honors one store in each size category (Small, Medium, Large) each year. The Selfridge Exchange won in the Small store category, Barksdale won among Medium-sized stores and UK East Consolidated was the top Large store.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Exchanges go above and beyond for military shoppers, but these Exchanges truly stand out for their ability to serve the best customers in the world,\u201d said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange\u2019s senior enlisted advisor. \u201cThese teams set the standard for how the Exchange can best serve Soldiers, Airmen and families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winning stores are selected based on criteria including expert customer service, leadership, business results, community support and command validation for partnerships and engagement.<\/p>\n
