Goodfellow Commissary returns to normal hours Published Aug. 9, 2013 By 17th Training Wing Public Affairs GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- The Defense Commissary Agency returns to normal operating hours in the wake of the Defense Department's Aug. 6 decision to curtail furloughs of its civilian workforce from eleven to six days. Military commissaries worldwide will return to normal operating schedules the week of Aug. 18-24, said Joseph H. Jeu, the DeCA director and CEO. "We recognize the disruption that furloughs presented to our patrons as far as access to their commissary benefit," said Jeu. "We also understand the economic hardships many of our employees faced with the pay they lost during the furlough period." Since July 8, the one-day-per-week furloughs impacted all of DeCA's more than 14,000 U.S. civilian employees worldwide. With the end of furloughs, Jeu asked that patrons be patient as product delivery schedules return to normal. "We will do everything possible to ensure that our shelves are properly stocked with the products our customers want when they shop," he said. "However, there will be a short adjustment period as our stores settle back into their pre-furlough operating and delivery routines." For Goodfellow, this means a return to the normal operational hours: 10:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. - Tuesday-Friday, Early Bird Shopping each day 7:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. - Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. - Sunday Don Rouse, store director, invites all Goodfellow Community members to visit their local commissary page: http://www.commissaries.com/stores/html/store.cfm?dodaac=HQCMC1 for more information about special events and local information.
