I never knew. I was getting out of the hotel parking lot when I saw this place. The CGX is part of the local mall and a one min walk to my hotel. I've seen recruiting station in malls. The NRS I worked at was at a strip mall in Kaneohe but never an exchange. Here the check IDs at the front. Makes sense being in an open mall. The place is a decent size and it has what a typical exchange has. Cloths for the family along with small kitchen appliances and house hold supplies. There's a decent size entertainment section with the typical TVs, radios, speakers, and Apple products. Lastly there is a snack section with the accompanying adult beverages and it's a damn good selection. The Coasties got this right. Overall four stars. I feel like I'm at a Sears when I'm here minus the auto shop and major appliances. Plus I'm not going to give them a five. I'm NAVY all the way. Now excuse me, I think the Finest Hour is on. M

Here, you must present a valid DoD I.D. upon entry. Booze. Electronic gadgets. Fashion + Athletic shoes. Hip sunglasses. Trendy clothing... and SmashBox cosmetics. + End-of-season SALES. What more can I say? :) Did I say booze?

Good to know for next time!

Interesting setup, great prices on tv's, like SERIOUSLY great prices on tv's! I'm essentially just waiting for my current ild plasma screen to die or the next time I move before upgrading to one of their low priced 60" tv's! Good selection on hard liquor, not the best prices or selection, but still better than heading to an ABC store. Ammo & gun prices are better than most places I've seen, the tax exempt purchasing goes a long way for anything you're buying in the hundreds. Put it on a cash rewards card & you're sitting pretty on the value & return! Oh, they also sell a lot of civilian clothing & footwear, again a good angle to save a few dollars on the tax free tip.

I made my first visit to the Coast Guard Exchange / CGX since it is across the parking lot from Homewood Suites by Hilton, where I am currently staying. Inside, it looks like a giant duty-free store that you see in many international airports. Electronics and computers have HP, Dell, Sony, and Toshiba, as well as the Apple iPad, iPod, iPod Touch. They also have WII and xBox games for those so inclined. They carry Polo and Levi's in the clothing department. This is a full service department store type atmosphere but most of the prices are considerably less than other stores in the area. Liquor is almost literally half the price of buying at your local state-run liquor store (but you need a military ID for this, as well as for buying tobacco products). Most of the products can be purchased by those with a CAC card or any item can be purchased by members of the military. The store is well lit, clean, and possesses a friendly staff. There is a plenty of parking as well. All in all, a nice and pleasant shopping experience.

Decent options.

Can't beat the value and selection. Why drive all the way to the big bases when we have this fine store in Chesapeake. Limited selection of clothing and electronics. If you were looking for wine beer or alcohol do you struck the jackpot! Several websites show this as being closed on Sundays but that is not true. They even have scratchers for up to 50% off including guns. Great rifle and gun selection.

I went Kohl's to look for some earrings and jewelry. They had a good selection! I got some nice…read moresilver and gold dangly earrings. Staff is friendly. Prices were good. I came across some toy stuffies based off of book characters. I bought some for my young niece for Christmas. I'll definitely be coming back for holiday shopping. They have everything! Bathrooms are always clean, parking is ample. It's in a good location next to Sam's circle . Pretty cool store!

Kohl's runs consistent sales on merch for the whole family with the convenience of phone/online…read moreordering. This visit was an in-store pickup of such order, purchased with Kohl's cash (their tiered incentive program for dollars spent between various dates). It was the only location that had all of needed items in stock. Neckties for my sons - one black, one blue - and a long sleeve shirt for me totaled $50 but only cost me $6 after Kohl's cash and a sale coupon code. Cool thing was my Kohl's cash had actually expired the previous day BUT the fab customer service reps helped me redeem it! Received an "order pickup ready" email and text message 4 hours after placing the order. Per email, I located the red online order pickup kiosk in the men's department (there was a sign hanging from the ceiling). I showed them my ID, then they scanned the pickup barcode within the email. Employee disappeared for a few minutes, only to reappear with a bag filled with the items I ordered. Total time for online pickup: 5 minutes. Sadly, the shirt appeared small so I attempted to find a bigger size to do an exchange. It was a HOT MESS! Clothes out of place with no apparent order/organization. Some Star Wars graphic hoodies, some flannel shirts, etc. I asked the pickup employee for assistance but she just pointed to the young men's department that I had already looked through unsuccessfully. After aimlessly looking again, I asked her to call an employee over to assist me. He arrived, went to the area I looked in, but couldn't find it either. At long last, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the long sleeve on a table, buried under a myriad of short sleeve graphic shirts. Total time for finding even swap shirt: 50 minutes. One of the ties appeared a tad different than the online pic, so I continued my in-store quest to find an exchange worthy boys neck tie. Looked around myself and struck out. After I asked an employee, he honestly replied "I don't know but I'll try to help." BEST, HONEST ANSWER!! We eventually did and the exchange at the customer service counter took no time at all with no additional money spent! All in all, a good customer forward facing company with relevant brands and enticing sales, but if you go in store, you're on your own.

Greenbrier Market Center is a large shopping area located on the southwest corner of the…read moreintersection of Greenbrier & Volvo Parkways. There are a number of anchor stores including Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Harris Teeters, Marshall's, Office Max, Old Navy, PetSmart, Target, & Total Wine. Just about any type of business one would need can be found there. You'll find numerous banks, a major drug store, hobby store, beauty supplies, a chiropractor, eye doctor, denture & implant office, gaming store, furniture store, greeting card store, surf shop, clothing stores & many eateries. The center, located in the Greenbrier section of Chesapeake, is not close to me. But I frequent it relatively often because some of my doctors have offices in the nearby Sentara Careplex. After a doctor's appointment I can't resist a visit to Everbowl, my favorite Açaí Bowl shop. There is also the option of picking up a takeout dinner at Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers. Both favorites are located among the businesses located on out parcels of the market center. The shopping area is clean & well laid out with plentiful parking and a modern facade. For those who live in Chesapeake this is a large and convenient place to shop. For those of us who live quite a distance, it's a regular stop if one of my favorites is there. It's a fun and delicious finale to a doctor's appointment.

This is a large, open plan big box shopping center and it does a good job being anchored by several…read morelarge shops. Target, Petsmart, Pier1, Old Navy, Bed Bath & Beyond and a Harris Teeter. The center is set back from the Interstate with access from Greenbrier Parkway. [Review 10813 overall, 581 of 2019.]
