(Army & Air Force Exchange Service)
TORII STATION – Shopping the Army & Air Force Exchange Service makes a difference: In 2023, military shoppers worldwide generated $73,344 for the Torii Station community. These dividends support critical Quality-of-Life programs that make life better for Torii Station Soldiers and their families.
100% of Exchange earnings are reinvested in the military community, so every time Soldiers, retirees, military families, Veterans, DoD civilians and other authorized personnel shop the Express, dine at the Subway or make an order through ShopMyExchange.com, they strengthen military communities.
“Other retailers have a duty to maximize returns to their shareholders; the Exchange’s duty is to maximize support of the military communities it is honored to serve, including here at Torii Station,” said Torii Express Store Manager Takeshi Ikehara. “Those who serve and have served receive value through tax-free shopping and military-exclusive pricing at the Exchange while also supporting our Nation’s heroes and their families.”
In total, Exchange shoppers worldwide generated $308 million for Army, Air Force and Space Force communities in 2023, which is provided directly to the Services. In the last 10 years, the Exchange has generated $3.7 billion in earnings, every dollar of which has benefited military communities.
The Exchange’s 2023 Mission Report provides a detailed overview of the DoD’s largest retailer—such as total revenue, earnings and more—as well as information regarding the many ways the Exchange benefit supported troops last year. The Mission Report can be read on the Exchange’s online Community Hub at ShopMyExchange.com/community by selecting “Annual Report” from the “Company” tab dropdown.
