Curbside pickup now available at Fort Bragg commissaries
by KEYURI PARAB
Fort Bragg commissaries are now offering
their 'CLICK2GO' curbside grocery pick up
services to all Department of Defense ID
card holders.
Both the North and South post commis-
saries will offer the service and allow cus-
tomers to order up to 6 days in advance,
with the option to make changes to their
order for up to 6 hours before pickup time.
You can find this service at the local com-
missary website as well as commissaries.
com or go to shopcommisaries.com, where
customers can order and pay online, and
pick a time for curbside pickup.
"With the system, we have signage to
identify designated parking spaces," said
Tanya Cooksey, business analyst/prod-
uct coordinator for Defense Commissary
Agency.
"When the customer pulls up into a desig-
nated parking space, there's a phone num-
ber on the sign, and the sign rings inside
and alerts the commissary team member
who will dispatch someone to retrieve
the order."
e 'CLICK2GO' service provides contact-
less delivery to the customers, where, after
showing them your ID, the team member
will place the items in the backseat or trunk
of the car, Cooksey said.
"e hours vary by
store but the aver-
age operating hours
by store is Tuesday
through Friday and
the operating hours
are usually between
11 a.m. and 6 p.m.,"
Cooksey said. "For the
past year or so there
was a $4.95 service
fee but as of recently
waived so customers
no longer have to pay
the service fee."
e curbside pickup
is a part of DeCa's e-
commerce initiative
which began in 2013
as an incentive to at-
tract millennials with
commissary privileges
to use the services.
"But we are finding that everyone loves
this service, retirees, new enlistees, every-
one," Cooksey said. "It's just convenient."
Last year the service added eight stores in
the program but are now aiming at adding
all 236 stores to the service by the end of the
year, she said.
