EAFB Commissary best in the nation
The Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) has named the Ellsworth Air Force Base Commissary the Best Large U.S. Commissary in the continental United States. The commissary employs 33 people served by Black Hills Workshop through BH Services which partners with the DeCA to provide services to the commissary. First selected as Best Large U.S. Commissary in the Western region, the Ellsworth Commissary competed with and topped the Eastern region winner, Marine Corps Recruit Depot of Parris Island, South Carolina.
The award was presented May 19 to DeCA Store Director Nancy Mitchell at the DeCA and American Logistics Association Training Event and Conference in Richmond, Virginia. BH Services Vice President of Operations Marty Krause says the award represents a successful partnership between DeCA and BH Services. "DeCA has a great management team and employees. They are very deserving of this award. And John Antar (BH Services Project Manager) and the rest of the BH Services crew do a wonderful job. Together they make a terrific team."
DeCA operates a worldwide chain of commissaries providing groceries to military personnel, retirees, and their families. This is one of four categories in the annual awards program which recognizes overall excellence in commissary operations and service. The selection of nominees is highly competitive and is based on operations, performance, and accountability. Finalists are subject to an unannounced inspection by the DeCA inspector general's office and an unannounced command visit.
People served by Black Hills Workshop have been providing shelf stocking, warehouse and janitorial services to the Ellsworth Commissary since January 1989.
