“Ten winners will receive not only great prizes but bragging rights that their pets are the cutest,” said Wright-Patterson BX General Manager Adam Shaw. “Pets might not go trick-or-treating, but they can still win major treats for their families at the Exchange.”
No purchase is necessary to enter or win. Winners will be selected and notified on or around Nov. 14. Visit ShopMyExchange.com/Sweepstakes to view the official rules.
Micro markets enhancing meals, snacks
Airmen will be able to fuel up with better-for-you meals and snacks while staying close to their workplace at the upcoming Wright-Patterson Exchange’s micro markets.
Fully automated and contactless, the self-serve markets will be positioned near Airmen and Department of Defense civilians working unusual hours or in high-traffic or out-of-the-way areas. Wright-Patterson Exchange micro markets will be found at convenient locations, such as the former Express store in the Air Force Institute of Technology, with two other locations to be determined.
Micro market offerings include fresh fruit, salads and other sustenance options that support a BE FIT lifestyle.
“Contactless shopping options are in high demand, and the Exchange is excited to offer more self-service convenience for the Wright-Patterson community,” said Shaw. “Micro markets strengthen the Exchange’s longstanding commitment to ‘go where you go’ to support mission readiness and resiliency.”
Micro markets also offer a more varied product assortment compared with traditional vending machines. With micro markets, items can be displayed similarly to a traditional convenience store, only with a self-checkout system for contactless convenience.
