Coast Guard Exchange

"This is a standard military exchange. It has a Coast Guard uniform shop and class VI store. The convenience of having an exchange off any military base is wonderful. We live too far from any military bases to take advantage of that benefit."

"Easy parking and access to carts. Well designed inside with a comfortable flow. Quality products , well priced and helpful, friendly staff."

"Customer service can be better. I didn’t have my veterans ID card but I had my expired Army ID, my drivers license with veterans status and when the cashier looked me up by my phone number I was in the system. All these credentials was still not good enough to buy the one item I had. The cashier asked I’m assuming her supervisor and said this is not good enough and I need the proper ID to shop there. It’s a shame after serving my country active duty overseas I come into this problem. Just wanted to get a gift for my dad. Not a good feeling, especially around the holidays."

"As an active duty member, it has a good selection of uniform items if you need but good selection on civilian clothing as well. I just wish it was closer to where I lived. But overall, glad that one is here in the VA area."

"I love this Exchange! They have ample parking plus two EV charging stations. You get two hours of free charging so you can get charged up while you shop. How cool is that! They are conveniently located in Centreville so depending on what time you head there, it could get congested. If you live in the area and you're a military person, make sure you come by and check them out. There's a lady by the front door that checks military ID card so be prepared to get asked and show it to them. The staff was really friendly- they all greeted us when we came in. The store still smelled like a brand new store. It was great. I walked around and checked out their aisles. It's a typical exchange. They were pretty stocked up and everything looked in order and arranged properly. We specifically came here to get a bottle of bourbon for a friend and let me tell you - their selection is amazing. We won't go anywhere else. Probably better than Ft. Myer or Belvoir. They had a HUGE selection of wine, alcohol, beer - you name it. Of course, they were priced a lot lower than your local ABC so we definitely came to the right place. We picked up four different bottles since they were such a great deal! I highly recommend. The cashier was a trainee but she was very friendly and efficient. She told me about the rewards program so I signed up and also gave me two gift cards worth $10 since I spent over $200. I guess I'm going to have to come back next week :) As I was walking out the building, I realized that the cashier accidentally gave me an extra dollar so I came back around and gave her the dollar back. Such a great place to do your shopping. I highly recommend!"
