With the December 2005 closure of Rhein-Main Air Base, Ramstein AB has become the new "Gateway to Europe" for thousands of travelers transiting the European theater. The KMC Center is designed to provide a one-stop shopping center for travelers and those stationed in the KMC. The consolidated facility will be approximately 800,000 square feet (78,000 square meters) and will include an eight-story, 350-room visiting quarters facility.
This is the first time that the Army and Air Force Exchange Service and Air Force Services have collocated major business operations. Other AAFES facilities included are a four-plex movie theater, Power Zone, Outdoor Living, Toyland/Four Seasons, food court, new car sales and other vendors in an American-style mall layout. The AAFES shopping center will feature some concessionaires available for the first time on U.S. Air Force installations-- stateside and overseas--as well as a large variety of specialty stores from the local community and the United States. The south end of the facility will include a spacious Outdoor Recreation facility complete with a two-story climbing wall, the Ramstein Tickets and Tours office, Romano's Macaroni Grill restaurant and a Sports Lounge offering local cuisine.
AAFES and Services are committed to working with local agencies for representation in the KMCC. While the KMC Center will offer many American conveniences for the KMC, it will also provide information about unique products and services offered at off-base restaurants and stores within the community, further strengthening the longstanding German-American friendship in the region.
The project totals approximately $170 million and is currently the largest single facility construction project in the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Department of Defense. Construction began with preliminary site clearing in November 2003 and a groundbreaking in the summer 2004. The facility is scheduled to open throughout summer 2009, with the Visiting Quarters opening first, followed by the AAFES shopping center. The new facility will greatly enhance the quality of life in the KMC.
