A group of coffee drinkers gathered in front of Starbucks Feb. 12 -- the newest addition to the Fort Knox Army & Air Force Exchange Service family located at the main Exchange.
With the snip of a grand opening ribbon from U.S. Army Garrison Senior Enlisted Advisor Command Sgt. Maj. Garrick Griffin and AAFES managers, patrons proceeded to the Starbucks counter to place their orders.
Ellen Henderson, general manager of Fort Knox AAFES, assured the crowd prior to the event that the other location, near Wilson Gate, would remain open. She explained that demand had necessitated the opening of the second location.
Starbucks' operating hours will mirror those at the Wilson Road location, said Michelle Foronda, food court manager at the Exchange: Monday thru Friday, 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 7 a.m. thru 4:30 p.m.
