\nExchange Update on Track for Sept. 17th Opening<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

DALLAS<\/strong> – Just 83 days after the first construction crew entered what was the \u201cBX,\u201d associates at what will soon be the new Tinker \u201cExchange\u201d are readying for a \u201cbrand opening\u201d celebration that will coincide with the Air Force birthday as well as the Air Force Falcons meeting up with the OU Sooners just down the road in Norman, OK.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Tinker community has a lot to be excited about in mid-September,\u201d said Store Manager Michael Patmon. \u201cAnd, while I\u2019m not an odds maker, I think the smart money is on shopping and saving at the Tinker Exchange the weekend Sept. 17. It\u2019s going to be unique opportunity to get a sneak peak at a look that Soldiers and Airmen may be seeing for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elements of the new look \u201cExchange\u201d will even go worldwide on the same day as www.shopmyexchange.com (formerly aafes.com) unveils branding graphics consistent with those found at Tinker on the 17th. Beyond the updated appearance, online shoppers will also notice new navigation and interactive interface elements as well as improved integration of Exchange social media pages at Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.<\/p>\n

Those lucky enough to make their way to the Tinker AFB Exchange on the weekend of the 17th will find a host of sales, specials and giveaways to celebrate the \u201cbrand opening.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working with vendor partners for months,\u201d said Patmon. \u201cI think shoppers who take time to stop by will be surprised not only by the appearance of the store, but the service, selection and excitement that will be on display.\u201d<\/p>\n\t
