US military opens up new supermarket in Böblingen: $ 47 million project!

Böblingen, Deutschland - in Böblingen it is bubbling: The US military has celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony for a new supermarket, which is to be built on the grounds of the tank barracks.

The new commissary, a supermarket especially for soldiers, will complement the airy environment of the "PXBX" opened in 2007. This shopping facility is very popular with the US troops. At those present at the groundbreaking ceremony, as well as Tracie Russ from the Defense Commissary Agency and Justin Wetherwax from the US Army Corp of Engineers, the anticipation for the new shopping paradise was clearly noticeable. "This will be a profit for the soldiers because they receive access to fresh foods and other products on site," said the statements of the parties involved, the Stuttgarter News citation

growing military presence in Böblingen

The decision to build the new supermarket comes at a time when the US Army adapts its structure in Germany. Despite the decline in the number of soldiers from 72,400 in 2006 to around 33,250 in 2018, Germany remains the European headquarters of the US armed forces with around 38,600 stationed troops. The basis in Böblingen plays a crucial role in this, especially for the US European Command (Eucom), which coordinates the American armed forces in 51 European countries. The [DW] (https://www.dw.com/de/die-s-in-Deutschland-fahngen-und-fakten/a-50151636) emphasizes that the military bases are not only important for strategic security, but also mean economic buoyancy for the surrounding communities.

With the new facilities, the city of Böblingen will not only benefit a bit more modern, but also economically. Military bases like Ramstein have long since developed into small cities that come up with their own infrastructures and services. The construction of the new supermarket in Böblingen will certainly help to further gain in importance.

We can be excited to see how the developments around the US military will develop in Böblingen. One thing is certain: the new supermarket is only the first step of long -term engagement that benefits both the soldiers and the community. A solid concept that further drives the integration of the military and civil society.
