The promise of a banner year began to fade.
Yet the madness of 2020 held bright spots for the military s grocery stores, with the Defense Commissary Agency posting record-breaking sales numbers in early March as the lockdowns loomed and finishing up the year with nearly 1% increases in revenue and sales.
Bill Moore, named as director of the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) in July, described the increases as good but said the stores have a long way to go. We were positive, and I don t want to downplay that. … We ve got a lot of work to do to really turn our revenue around and we re on our way to do that, but we are not there yet, Moore said during an interview Dec. 15 with Military.com.
