Navy Exchange assists Naval Air Station Corpus Christi's largest base tenant, Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD), by bringing new dining options to the 4,000+ depot employees and contractors looking for a quick bite during their lunch break.

The Navy Exchange (NEX) is bringing fresh food vending machines and larger self-checkout micro mart systems to the depot. Items are stocked fresh daily, and machines accept cash, credit and debit cards.

The first NEX food vending machines are already available in the locations listed below:

Bldg 8 Cleaning Shop break room

Bldg 49 Blade Shop break room (First Floor)

Bldg 340 Metal Plating break room

Additional micro marts are scheduled for delivery throughout CCAD, so keep a look out for even more food options in the near future. Further menu choices will expand with the program.

The NEX retail business has found success with self-serve food systems at other bases, with customers appreciating the convenience of fresh and diverse snack food options at their fingertips. The easy-to-use system is a plus for users, making each transaction as quick and simple as fast food can be.
