“The Exchange is committed to offering dining choices to fit the lifestyles of Soldiers and their families,” Cantwell said. “Panda Express is another exciting addition to the food court that offers better-for-you options for the Fort Leonard Wood community.”
More Exchange improvements are on the way at Fort Leonard Wood, including the addition of Dunkin’ and Haute Dawgs Gourmet Hot Dogs and Eatery. United States Air Force Veteran-owned clothing company Bunker 27 will also launch soon at the Fort Leonard Wood Exchange mall.
All of the Exchange’s 1,600-plus restaurants, including the more than 50 added in 2021, offer better-for-you choices to support Warfighters’ readiness and resiliency. Dining with the Exchange benefits Warfighters and military families, as 100% of Exchange earnings support the community. In the last 10 years, the Exchange has provided $3.5 billion in earnings for critical military Quality-of-Life programs.
