Nellis Exchange shoppers can save on eating healthy with Salad Wednesdays
Airmen and families at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., can keep their bodies and their wallets healthy every Salad Wednesday at Army & Air Force Ex- change Service restaurants.
On Wednesdays, diners can take $2 off any salad priced $4 or more at participating Exchange direct-operated restaurants, including:
• Boston Market • Taco Bell
• Arby’s
• Charley’s
“The Exchange is dedicated to sup- porting readiness and resiliency among Airmen and families at Nellis,” said Exchange General Manager Matthew Beatty. “The Nellis community can count on the Exchange to make it easy and affordable to make healthy choices.”
Salad Wednesday is part of the
Exchange’s BE FIT initiative, which promotes healthy lifestyles for Sol- diers, Airmen, retirees and military families.
The Exchange is a partner in the Air Force Smart Fueling initiative under the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Operation Live Well. All Exchange restaurants offer better-for-you menu choices to support our Warfighters’ readiness and resiliency.
In addition to Salad Wednesday savings, diners who use their MILI- TARY STAR card receive an everyday additional 10 percent discount at Ex- change restaurants.
Exchange restaurants are open to anyone – whether military, civil service, contractor or visitor – per Army Regulation 215-8 and Air Force Instruction 34-211 (I).
