Related to my previous post we are getting ready to open 3 new digital 3D screens. We would like to shake up our concessions some to hopefully improve our percap on an increasing number of patrons (fingers crossed).
Here is what we have. Popcorn - sm 46oz 2.75, md 85oz 3.50, lg 130oz 4.25 - no refills Soda - sm 16oz 2.25, md 22oz 2.75, lg 32oz 3.25 variety of candy 2.25-3.00 nachos w/cheese 3.75 add chili, jalepneos, xtra cheese .50 cotton candy made in house - 3.25 slushies - 2 sizes 2.75, 3.25 kids pack - 3.50 crappy coffee that is neglected and mostly for us - 2
[popcorn topper area with self serve butter and 12 kernal seasons toppings (people really like these)]
We are a college town with a population of 20,000 + 20,000 students and serve a slightly larger area and hopefully much larger with our upcoming 3D.
The single item we are mostly thinking about right now is Gourmet Pretzels. Singular packaged ones. From what I understand its about $150 for the warmer and about a buck per product. We'd probably sell for around the price of the nachos with cheese side and others.
How have pretzels done for you all?
Ice cream is another thing I have tried to push for. You can usually get the freezer for free so its just product to worry about. Obviously it seems this would do best in summer months.
Anyone have thoughts on various ice cream products?
Does anyone sell energy drinks?
Beef Jerky and Trail Mix are other things that have been thrown out.
I think we are trying to stay away from hot dogs etc because it is a different food operating license.
Also for context our only competing theater sells popcorn, candy, drinks, and hot dogs for $1 and has $4 tickets. They dropped prices crazy to compete with us. I don't know how they make money.
This is a little all over the place so my apologies, we are just looking at shaking things up.

Pretzels and Churros are a great addition to the Concession and we get them from Gold Medal Products.
However, what we do locally here in Thailand is that we have a number of different flavours for our corns and they are Regular Butter, Caramel, BBQ, Cheese, Corn Cheese, Sour Cream & Onion, Olive Oil & Organic Corn (Premium $$), Strawberry, Coconut, Tropical Fruit et al. We also have a number of flavours on rotation.
What we have been doing so far is trying to create Healthy Menu options on our Concession as our crowd tends to be health conscious these days and our Olive Oil Organic selection tends to be really popular. We also have Fresh Fruits, Light Yoghurt, Biscuits and Low Fat Ice Cream on offer and they are really making lots of Cash.

I can't believe that other theaters in the USA don't do that... It's so simple to do. I love Carmel Corn and Cracker Jack! I have but one customer out of hindreds that does this... and he has but three flavors...
