The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) operates retail stores and hospitality services for U.S. military personnel, retirees, and their families. Founded in 1946, the organization runs Navy Exchange locations on naval installations worldwide, offering tax-free shopping with average savings of around 20% before sales tax. Its hospitality offerings include Navy Lodge and Navy Gateway Inns & Suites.
As a U.S. Navy command, NEXCOM returns 100% of its earnings to Sailors through Navy Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) programs. Since its founding, it has returned nearly $3.7 billion to support warfighter readiness and strengthen Navy quality of life. The command maintains a global presence, operating both domestically and overseas.
