More than four months after the military commissary at Mitchel Field, New York, closed, customers still don\u2019t know when the store will reopen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the only commissary on Long Island. For it to close with basically no information, and the only backup plan is to order from the Fort Hamilton store and have it delivered to Mitchel Field one day a week is ridiculous,\u201d said Robert Craddock, a disabled Navy veteran<\/a> who shopped at the store regularly for discounted groceries until it closed in early July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
