    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Style Encore Chesapeake hosted a Ladies Night Out event this evening and I'm so glad that I was…read moreable to attend! Refreshments, giveaways, and discounts made this event so much fun! Staff is always so friendly and attentive whether they're asking to take some empty hangers out of your hands, or asking if you'd like for them to place all of your terrific finds behind the cash wrap to free up your hands to continue shopping. I always enjoy how clean and well organized the store is kept. The aisles are spacious. The clothing racks are clearly marked by size and the different sections are arranged according to styles with attention to colors. This retail team truly takes time to keep their selections appealing to their customers. This evening's event featured 90% off clearance, 20% off storewide, and 10% off designer ($250 or less). I have to admit that the additional discounts are music to my ears...and my wallet, too! Thank you, Style Encore for such a nice shopping event!

    I walked into Style Encore and was not greeted at all. Instead, the staff just stared at me until I…read moresmiled and greeted them first. When I approached the counter to have my items scanned, the cashier looked at them and immediately said, "Those won't sell." When I politely asked why, she looked at another cashier to explain instead of giving me a direct answer herself. She then suggested that I take my items to Plato's Closet. The reason I came to Style Encore in the first place is because the website specifically says they accept high-ticket items, and my item is well over $150. If you're going to deny someone a service, you should at least be able to clearly explain why in a respectful and professional manner. The overall experience felt discouraging and unwelcoming from the moment I walked in. A simple greeting and better customer service would have made a huge difference.

    I got one pair of shoes here back in 2009. Since then, I…read morehave tried this place so many times and always leave with nothing. For such a big store with so many shoes, the options aren't great for me. It could be just me, but I fail to believe that everyone else has hour-glass shaped feet! (especially men) Get some larger, wider shoes that don't look like a picasso painting with ridiculously narrow soles, and then maybe we'll talk. Also, just as a general gripe: lower the prices. I mean really, we're walking on the things! All they are for is for squishing between the filthy ground and our filthy feet. No shoe and I mean absolutely NO SHOE is worth more than $20 at the most! (Just my opinion.) Enough charging hundreds of dollars for a piece of rubber we're just gonna scrape against the earth with our full weight every day. Reminds me of bridge tolls.. complete BS!

    Sadly, I was disappointed with this DSW. The shoe racks and rows were clean and organized but the…read morelighting was very dim and it seemed like they had a smaller selection of shoes on there clearance section than other DSWs nearby. The women's bathroom was also very dirty! Not only were the toilets and stall doors splattered but there was no toilet paper inside any of the dispensers in the 3 stalls (only mostly used up rolls on top of one dispenser and a sanitary napkin box). I was really grossed out and inconvenienced using the bathroom there.
