DALLAS \u2013 <\/b>The Army & Air Force Exchange Service will open its first GNC store outside of the United States this year at the Kaiserslautern Military Community Center mall on Ramstein Air Base.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"GNClogo\"<\/a>An opening date for the store is still being determined. Additional GNC locations at other locations in Germany and the Pacific are also under review.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Exchange wants Americans serving or living overseas to feel at home, even if they\u2019re thousands of miles away from their families and hometowns,\u201d said Trinidad Saucedo, the Exchange\u2019s senior vice president of services, food and fuel. \u201cWe continue to expand our offerings at installations the world over, bringing familiar brands to Soldiers, Airmen and families who sacrifice so much to defend our nation\u2019s freedoms.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The store represents a milestone for the Exchange. It will be the first third-party branded retailer at an Exchange facility to be directly run by the Exchange instead of the third-party retailer itself.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
