A Swank Concession Bar Features aNE OF THE MOST unusual Candy bar dessigns in an American theatre is located in the new Woods Theatre in Grosse Point, a Detroit suburb. Of special interest to exhibitors who are considering beverage dispensers in their confections area, is the manner in which the Drincolator can be built into a candy stand and becomes an integral part of the layout. The dispenser can be seen at the far right of the bar. United Detroit Theatres, after installing the Drincolator at the Woods and Palm- State theatres, has standardized on this type of equipment and is installing them as rapidly as possible in the balance of their locations. UDT reported that one of the machines paid for itself in a month's time and the other in six weeks—and in the early spring weeks. All of which, it is further explained, can be taken as an indication of the beverage vending profits in theatres. Installations by Other Circotts Other Paramount affiliated circuits which have installed Drincolators are the M&P circuit in Boston, Balaban & Katz in Chicago; Intermountain in Salt Lake City, Paramount-Nace Theatres in Phoenix, Northio in Cincinnati, Monroe Amusements in Rochester, Wesmas in Springfield, Mass., and Paramount in San Francisco. The dispenser also is now being used Built-in Drincolntor by such chains as Wometco of Miami, Golden State of California, Griffith of Dallas, Alliance Theatres of Chicago, Commonwealth in Kansas City, Wisper & Wetsman in Detroit, and Warners in Los Angales. The Drincolator Corp. has developed a high speed nozzle especially designed for use in outdoor theatres, where it has been found necessary in many instances to operate a double unit. These special units can produce drinks out of each faucet at the rate of one drink each two seconds. This permits quick service, especially during the break, when attendants can serve At the Sunrise a drink every half second. Drive-In at Valley Stream, Long Island, the week's sales recently totaled $400 on a syrup cost of less than $50. The Drincolator in the Woods and the Palms-State Theatres, Detroit, dispense Hires Root Beer and Coca-Cola, and it will surprise many theatre owners to know that the demand for the root beer runs about 50-50 with the Cokes. While this dispenser is usually sold to the theatre owner direct, an increasing number of bottlers throughout the country are making the machines available to exhibitors on a gallonage basis, which means that they only pay for a small override on the syrup until the unit is paid for.
