Freedom Crossing

I’ve been to a lot of different bases across the U.S. and Europe and I’ve never been to one that has anything close to Freedom Crossing. I know things are constantly changing so there could be something like it somewhere else, but if you’re at Fort Bliss, this is your one stop shop.
FC is still a semi-​newer installation on Fort Bliss (less than 10 years old), but they’ve done a phenomenal job with the upkeep and continuing to bring in new stores to the vacant buildings. Almost all of FC is occupied, but I’d say around 20% is still vacant.
The movie theater is my favorite because it shows all the newest stuff and some classics for a beyond reasonable price. And they play the National Anthem at the beginning of every movie! The food court is quite large and located in the main building where you’ll also find the PX. The food court has the usual suspects like Burger King and Starbucks, but you’ll also find some other choices like Texas Roadhouse and local favorite, The Healthy Pizza Company. Outside of the main building, you’ll also find some shops like Under Armour, Agaci, a barbershop, a Family Dollar, Gamestop, and a cigar store. If you’re a fan of Smashburger, you need to head here ASAP.
FC is a good place to bring the whole family, you’ll even find a small fountain area for kids to run around in as well as a covered playground. There’s at least one event a week at Freedom Crossing and they also bring in some serious country singers occasionally. Great place to stop if you’re on Fort Bliss.

There is a lot offerred here ranging from Texas Roadhouse to Starbucks to Burger King, Asian restaurants, along with several other places to eat.
There is a lot of variety here because within walking distance is clothing and sales, the PX, a community bank, commissary, a dollar store, a movie theather, and several other small businesses. By far this is the best shopping area on military bases. I have been to Hawaii which has an impressive BX (base exchange in the Navy/​Air Force) but the one at Fort Bliss is beyond comparison.

Freedom Crossing is the BEST thing to ever happen to Fort Bliss! It’s the first of its kind in a Military Post and it is setting the standard for all Military Installations across the nation! It is one of the reasons I cannot complain being stationed at Fort Bliss. There are sooo many options in this shopping/​retail megacomplex that it’ll satisfy even the most demanding soldiers. With all these options, you rarely have to shop off-​post.

This place is great. Has a big food court that has many dining options. It has my favorite rib place which is Texas roadhouse. It has little vendors outside the Px entrances. And it also has other stores around and a theatre. Surprisingly it even has a dollar tree! There’s really no need to go offpost when u have this place here.

Freedom crossing is a great all in one and one stop shopping, eating and entertainment experience. I grew up as a military dependent and never had it this good. Albeit, most of my military dependent life experience occurred in the 70’s and 80’s (yes I’m dating myself). At any rate, Freedom Crossing is a wonderful place for the family and also a great place to placate you and your co-​workers when no one can seem to agree on what to eat for lunch. There is a little bit of everything for everyone. From sushi, to burgers, to BBQ, to wings, to subs and smoothies, everyone can pick what they like. The movie theatre is really top notch and the movie prices are much more affordable than other venues outside of Fort Bliss.
Fort Bliss got this concept right and more shopping/​eating centers should take note of this. Additionally, this is a family friendly area with plenty of security. Events and concerts are great and really vibrant and full of great energy. This place really comes alive in the evenings and on the weekends.

Out of all the bad things about Fort Bliss, I will have to say this is the best idea they have came up with. Between the cleanliness, well maintained, modern look of it, it’s a great place to go. Shamrocks pub, Buffalo Wild Wings, Smashburger, Texas Roadhouse and with the million options inside the building itself, your for sure going to find a place to eat with your family or friends. The main PX is located here also and has a great weapon selection along with clothes, Cologne, toys and household goods. Great shopping center!

Freedom Crossing is a great addition to the area. Top Notch. The area is very clean and well kept. There are SO many activities planned throughout the year from concerts to festivals. Weekend events include things like local music, concerts (well-​known names too), 5Ks, and tradition or holiday related events. Usually you can bring your well-​behaved dogs to events too, although you may want to double-​check depending on the event type and keep in mind crowds/​noise level for your four-​legged buddy.
There is a nice variety of sit down restaurants as well as a food court, shopping, and even a theater! A playground and summer splash fountain is available for the kiddos.
For DoD card holders there is a huge PX, Class Six, and the Commissary. Free parking. A complete directory along with news and events are available on their website!

I spent several years in the Army, and during my time of service, I was able to travel to many different military installations. Let me start of by saying that Freedom Crossing at Fort Bliss is probably the number one shopping and event center on any military installation in all of the United States Armed Forces.
Food and Drink. This shopping plaza has numerous varieties of restaurants of many different styles, ranging from BBQ, Sushi, Mexican, and Asian to just name a few. There is your typical food court inside near the PX, or you can walk a outside and choose from several sit down restaurants, such as Texas Roadhouse, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Smashburger. Whatever you are in the mood for, chances are you will find it the area. There is also a cool Irish Pub called Shamrocks, where there is a big party every St Patty’s Day.
Shopping. Now if you are familiar with an Army PX, this one is top-​notch. To sum it up, imagine a mall caliber department store without mall department store prices. If you need to do some Grocery shopping, an almost brand new Commissary is located right across the street. Back to the Freedom Crossing complex though, there are also a lot of specialty and novelty shops located within the same building as the PX. Very neat if you are looking to buy some flowers for your significant other, or are looking for some military themed nick-​nacks. Along the outside of the complex, you will find your typical Army Clothing & Sales and the Class 6, but there are also some other brand name stores such as UnderArmour, GNC, and Agaci to just name a few. There is also an awesome Cigar Shop there too (i did a separate review that one).
Events… During the summer, Freedom Crossing hosts an awesome summer concert series. Every week or so, they bring in artists and bands that are popular and current. In the last few years, they have had big names like Gym Class Heroes, Trace Adkins, and Lee Brice. There is a really play area for the kiddos, as well as an outdoor seating area with a fire place to sit and socialize with friends.
Overall, Freedom Crossing is a great place to go, whether you are looking to shop, socialize, or just get out of the house. Kudos to Fort Bliss to providing such an awesome local for the troops and their families.

This place is the reason I don’t want my husband to pcs anywhere else. I’ve always thought Kadena AB was really nice when we were there but I was really impressed when we moved here. This place is like a small mall… But with military discount.
There’s everything you could think of. All kinds of restaurants, clothing stores, alcohols and dollar tree… They even have a nice movie theatre where you could watch a movie with $ 5. You literally don’t need to leave the base as you could get everything here.

Freedom Crossing is something I’ve never seen on an instillation before… In a good way!
Shop, eat, drink, play,… Watch! They got it all. It’s a wonderful concept to keep Soldiers and their families on post and happy. Now then, if you’re in a foreign country, PLEASE go off post and explore and embrace the local culture… But here in Texas, you can do the same… But if you don’t feel like it, stay in post.
This place has it all. To name a few:
Underarmour
Clothing and sales
The cleaners
The grand (movie theatre)
PX
Commissary
GNC
Dollar tree
Agaci
Denny’s
The barber shop
Buffalo Wild Wings
Food court (with all the usual suspects)
Sushi place
Starbucks
Texas Roadhouse
Game Stop
Flower shop
Irish pub
Class Six
And tons more…
I mean, I’m super impressed! Freedom Crossing alone, is better than the entire meth based village that is known as Lawton, Oklahoma (Ft Sill)! #ratchet
My wife and I always hit up COSTCO, and we love eating Mexican food, as it’s delicious AND rare for us being from the island… So don’t get me wrong, El Paso is worth exploring… But Freedom Crossing sure does make it hard to wanna go off post for anything. Check it out and catch some life music on the weekends! Awesome place… You’ll never wanna leave post again… Until it’s time to hit dem outlets boiiiii! #DiscountsOnTopOfDiscounts
Freedom Crossing is so the biz…
