Over the last decade, the world of stadium and arena dining has undergone a dramatic transformation. Cutting-edge technology, diverse menu offerings, and revamped aesthetics have combined to create an unparalleled fan experience. It's no longer just about watching the game—it's about immersing yourself in the entire atmosphere. Venues have evolved into destinations that offer much more than sports.
As concession stands at these venues continue to reach new levels of sophistication, it’s crucial that your equipment keeps pace. Stainless steel has become the go-to material due to its sleek and high-end appearance. However, selecting the right essentials for your concession stands is key. We’re here to help guide you through the process.
In this article, we’ll outline five critical stainless steel items every arena concession stand should consider. Additionally, we’ll introduce some IMC products to assist you along the way. Let’s dive in.
First and foremost, worktables are indispensable for preparation tasks. Concession stands primarily handle food, so having a dedicated area to prepare these items is essential. Worktables are the most practical solution, and multiple units are often necessary. Without them, basic tasks like dish preparation or ingredient chopping would be impossible.
IMC offers a wide range of customizable worktables—some even come with backsplashes and undershelves. For concession stands, we suggest a fully tailored worktable featuring table shelves and sink bowls. Always consider the available space and design your worktable to maximize efficiency. Below are some examples of custom worktables IMC created for the UBS Arena, home of the New York Islanders:

Next up, base cabinets provide much-needed storage solutions. Concession stands are essentially mini eateries, requiring ample space for ingredients, tools, utensils, and serving items. Base cabinets are the ideal storage option, especially those with generous prep tops. Depending on your preference, these cabinets can feature hinged doors, sliding doors, or no doors at all.
IMC’s flagship base cabinet series, Model #BC, can be customized in numerous ways, including additional drawers, backsplashes, sink bowls, and extra shelves. Here are some images of the base cabinets IMC manufactured for UBS Arena:

Vertical storage is another smart move, particularly in concession stands where floor space is limited. Wall shelves, typically positioned above prep tables, allow for easy access to ingredients or temporary storage. They are usually matched to the length of the worktable for consistency, with solid shelving being the most common choice.
IMC’s Model #WMS wall shelves come in widths ranging from 10†to 24†and lengths from 24†to 144â€. Stainless steel mounting brackets are included for easy installation. Below are some IMC wall shelves installed at UBS Arena:

Cleanliness is paramount in concession stands, making compartment sinks a necessity. These sinks come in various configurations, from single to four compartments, and can even be custom-shaped. Choose a sink that suits the size and nature of your concession stand. Single-compartment sinks can also serve as hand sinks when needed.
IMC’s Model #SCS compartment sinks are among the most versatile products in our catalog. Constructed from 14 or 16 gauge Type 300 series stainless steel, they feature rolled edges and backsplashes to protect walls and floors. Here are some field photos:

Finally, hand sinks play a critical role in maintaining hygiene. They signal that you prioritize safety, responsibility, and public health. Placing hand sinks in your concession stand allows employees to quickly wash their hands before handling food. A nearby towel dispenser is an added convenience, allowing staff to dry their hands and return to work swiftly. If space is limited, integrating a hand sink into a worktable is an excellent alternative.
IMC offers a variety of hand sinks—both freestanding and wall-mounted. For concession stands, we recommend freestanding hand sinks with foot pedal valves or wall-mounted units for individual use. Take a look at some IMC-installed hand sinks:

Microcapsule Powder
Microencapsule powder is a kind of powdery substance formed by wrapping powder or liquid substance with high-quality wall material using microencapsulation technology. The diameter is generally 1~500 μm, and the thickness of the wall is generally 0.5~150 μm, which can improve the stability of the product, prevent mutual interference between various components, and make it easier for the human body to absorb and use. Microencapsulation technology can improve the water solubility of the core material, cover the odor of the core material, and prevent the core material from being oxidized.
