The 13,200-square-foot shoppette is located along the main road of the base. Graham Construction of Eagen, Minn., was the contractor for the project which took a year to complete.
AAFES also is building a new exchange similar to a civilian department store on the base, which will be completed later in 2009.
Separately, Susser Holdings Corp., Corpus Christi, Texas, is building two Stripes c-store locations in Abilene, Texas,, one near the Dyess Air Force Base and one near Cisco Junior College, said The Reporter News.
Each of the new stores has been issued building permits for $650,000, said the report.
A Town & Country store in Abilene has been rebranded as Stripes, as well.
