AAFES-PX

Of all the Post Exchanges I have been to, the one in Fort Lewis is the best by far. Fort Sill, Fort Sam Houston, Fort Knox, and Fort Lee all have their own takes on the Big PX, but Fort Lewis just curb stomps them all and utterly destroys the competition. I would give second place to Fort Sam Houston, but even that place has a far inferior PX to Fort Lewis.
This Post Exchange is spacious, clean, and has everything within reason that you would need while living at JBLM. Whatever they have, you can rest assured that they also probably have large quantities of it and won’t run out any time soon. I took a moment to browse their electronics section and it’s on par with what civilian electronics stores have to offer.
Everything like clothing, cosmetics, snacks, appliances, etc. are available here for you to purchase without the addition of sales tax. If you tend to spend a lot of money, this may be a welcome feature for you. I just love how there’s a military version of Target on base. Not that you can’t go to the Target in Lakewood, but the PX is in a central location in JBLM and is one of the coolest things about the whole place.

Best Exchange in Northern Washington that I have found so far. Lots of variety. Best prices.

Pretty nice PX and food court. :)

Cool place to shop and eat. Especially if you don’t wanna travel too far off post and deal with the nightmarish traffic.
The manchu wok, taco john’s and the turkish kebabs are usually on point.

Good PX, several different restaurants an the usual clothes/​make up/​food selections. Electronics section is one of the better ones I’ve seen in a PX but the furniture is inconveniently located in another building. Hours are 0900 to 2130 daily. Not sure why that isn’t really posted anywhere on the Internet, but there it is.

This px has got a great selection of all the necessities… Clothes, hygiene items, make up, etc. it has a Clinique counter along with other high end beauty products– a great selection in fragrance! And high end bags like Coach and Michael Kors. They also have beer/​alcohol. Food court has quite a few selections. Over all it’s a nice place to shop!

It’s a good PX. Can’t complain… can’t shop there anymore since I’m not in the service or a overseas contractor with benefits but it was good to go with my mom and check things out again.

Compared to most of the PX’s I have been to, I would have to say that is by far the biggest one. It has everything you could want. The food court has various options and the smaller stores and kiosks give you a nice variety as well. Its very clean and the staff are always ready to help you answer any questions you have.

This AAFES location has a main store, food court, optical center, florist, and various kiosks. The main store is set up like a department store, so there’s a little bit of everything. The electronics department usually stocks the latest cds and dvds, although the selection is somewhat limited compared to Best Buy or Walmart. When shopping recently for laptops, I was a little disappointed with the selection. There weren’t a lot of models to choose from, so I wasn’t able to find what I was looking for without going elsewhere.
I like that the main store carries a lot of brand name clothing such as Under Armour, Billabong, Quiksilver, North Face, and Columbia plus the fragrance department carries Chanel, Clinique, and Estee Lauder among many others. The perk to shopping at the Exchange is there is no sales tax!
The food court has various eateries to choose from: Robin Hood, Anthony’s Pizza, Taco John’s, Cinnabon, Charley’s Grilled Subs, and Manchu Wok. There is also a sushi place and a grill outside the main entrance. The food court is a great place to grab a quick bite while shopping or on your lunch break, but it gets really busy during the weekday lunch rush. Plan accordingly!
Like all AAFES locations, a valid military ID is required to shop at the main store but not at the food court or other concessions.

The Exchange is always a hoot to go in just be patient and enjoy.

I like going here when there isn’t a line. When there is no line it’s the best day!

This review is for the barber shop portion only
Jenni cut my hair I asked for a number 1 on the side then fade to skin on the side. She barely took off any hair then she showed the mirror then she said don’t ask for anything else this is as good as you get I don’t cut black people hair. Worst customer service I ever experienced ill pay the few extra bucks and get my hair cut off base
