FORT HOOD,Texas – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service cut the ribbon on its brand-new Clear Creek Shopping Center on Oct. 1, bringing a modern shopping experience complete with a strong national brand presence to the Fort Hood community.
“This truly is a great place; we as Team Exchange are so proud that we can make this an even greater place,” Exchange director/CEO Tom Shull told the Fort Hood community before the doors opened on the 270,000-square-foot shopping center.
“The Fort Hood community has waited a long time for this,” said Exchange general manager Paula Gunderson. “2015 is the ‘Year of the Customer.’ This shopping center is proof of the Exchange’s commitment to taking care of the Fort Hood community and of family serving family.”
The shopping center brings the main store, mall and food court under one roof. The main store boasts name-brand “concept shops,” including Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Bobbi Brown. A special BE FIT section is stocked with athletic wear for men and women from name brands such as Under Armour, Nike and Adidas.
Shoppers found more national names in the mall, including Great Clips and It’Sugar — the first-ever locations for these brands at an Exchange. National brands like MAC cosmetics, Sally Beauty Supply, GameStop and Starbucks are also present, giving the mall a modern look and feel.
