Navy Exchange Burkey Mall - Great Lakes, Illinois

I think the Navy Exchange at Burkey Mall is an excellent department store. Electronics, clothes, shoes, home goods, tools, pet supplies, kitchen wares, etc. They will match any price you can find locally. I just bought a Nikon D5600 camera kit, inclusive of two lenses (18-55mm & 70-300mm) They had it on sale for a fantastic price, but I found it online at a local big box store for a few dollars less and they matched it...no problem! That's not the first time I've asked them to price match and they always do. Currently (2/15/20) the store is undergoing a major transformation and the layout is the best its ever been. I especially like how they've moved the electronics department from the room in the southeast corner of the store to the back of the store along the west wall. Much more open space and easier to move about. Tons of sale items can be found now in what was the electronics room and all about the store, as well. Here's a ton of pics that I just took which are very representative of what you can expect to find. Based on the no-tax sales you'll benefit from and the fact that they will absolutely price match things you can buy elsewhere, locally, shopping here is a no-brainer!

I'm a proud Navy Dad! Friendly staff and great selection of products! Fairly priced.

This place is old and is not family oriented. There’s more old people stuff and pet stuff than kids stuff. It’s a zero for young family outdoor activities. Zero for baby outfits. Zero for bbq and grilling accessories. Zero for arts and crafts and note booking. Zero for summer pools and activities. This place needs to market families besides souvenirs section. Oh and zero food court.

Prices are nothing special. Staff is absolutely ghetto and rude. Was there on New Year’s day and my cashier (didn’t get her name) was bleeding on her hand and just proceeded to get blood on the merchandise I was about to buy. Needless to say I left without buying anything. That cashier also looked stoned/high or something. Overall this place (for being military) is an absolute let down. Go to Walmart.

I have been coming to this exchange for ~35 years, since my mother who is navy veteran, took me here when I was little. Everything is clean, well organized, and modestly priced. There is one thing that stands out every time I go there: Dean. Dean checks the IDs at the door and greets the guests. He is kind, honest, diligent, and reflects positively on the NEX and the sea services as a whole. Dean always appreciates veterans of all ages, from freshly minted sailors to elderly retirees. I look forward to seeing Dean when I go shopping at NEX. Please commend this man.
