CHESAPEAKE, Va. – Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads-Northwest Annex cut the ribbon on the new Navy Exchange (NEX) on Friday.
The project increased the size of the NEX from 4,500 square feet to 6,700 square feet.
The new store includes a wide selection of joint forces uniform items, consumables and beverages with a walk-in-cooler, an expanded food bar, healthy choice items, deli sandwiches, fresh fruit, household supplies and sports nutrition items.
In addition, the NEX will also include a gas station and a barber shop.
