Over the past decade, the world of stadium and arena dining has undergone a dramatic transformation. Advanced technology, diverse menu offerings, and enhanced aesthetics have combined to create an unparalleled fan experience. Today, attending a sporting event isn't just about watching the game—it's about immersing yourself in a complete entertainment destination.
As concession stands evolve into high-end dining spaces, it's crucial to ensure your equipment matches the luxury vibe. Stainless steel is the ideal material for these concessions due to its sleek and sophisticated appearance. However, choosing the right equipment can be overwhelming. We're here to guide you through the essential stainless steel items you'll need for your arena concession stand.
In this article, we'll break down five critical stainless steel products for your concession setup. We'll also highlight some IMC products to help you along the way. Let’s dive in!
**1. Worktables – Essential for Food Preparation**
Concession stands revolve around food preparation, so having the right workspace is non-negotiable. Worktables are indispensable for tasks like chopping ingredients and assembling meals. You'll need multiple tables to handle the volume of food being prepared. Without them, basic operations would grind to a halt.
IMC offers an extensive range of worktables, including models with backsplashes and undershelves. For concession stands, a fully customized table with additional shelves and sink bowls is often the best option. Make sure to optimize your available space when designing your worktable. Below are a few examples of IMC worktables we crafted for the UBS Arena, home of the New York Islanders:

**2. Base Cabinets – Reliable Storage Solutions**
Concession stands are bustling hubs of activity, filled with ingredients, tools, and serving items. Adequate storage is key to maintaining order. Base cabinets are the perfect solution, offering both functionality and durability. Models with a prep table top are even more practical, providing additional workspace. Depending on your preference, these cabinets can come with hinged doors, sliding doors, or no doors at all.
Our flagship product, Model #BC, is highly customizable, allowing for extra drawers, backsplashes, sink bowls, and more. Here are some examples of IMC base cabinets installed at UBS Arena:

**3. Wall Shelves – Maximizing Vertical Space**
Space is always at a premium in concession stands, making vertical storage essential. Wall shelves are typically positioned above prep tables for quick access to ingredients. They are usually designed to match the length of the worktable for a cohesive look. Solid shelving is the most popular choice due to its durability and ease of cleaning.
IMC’s Model #WMS offers a wide range of sizes, from 10 inches to 24 inches wide and 24 inches to 144 inches long. Each shelf comes with stainless steel mounting brackets for secure installation. Here are some IMC wall shelves installed at UBS Arena:

**4. Compartment Sinks – Keeping Things Clean**
Concession stands can get messy fast, so having a reliable method to clean utensils and wares is crucial. Compartment sinks are the go-to solution, offering multiple basins for washing, rinsing, and sanitizing. These sinks come in various configurations, from single to quad basins, and can be customized based on your specific needs. A single basin can even double as a hand sink in a pinch.
IMC’s Model #SCS is one of our most versatile products. Made from 14 or 16 gauge Type 300 series stainless steel, these sinks feature a rolled edge and backsplash to prevent spills. Here are some images of our compartment sinks in action:

**5. Hand Sinks – Prioritizing Hygiene**
Hand sinks are more than just functional—they communicate cleanliness and professionalism. Placing hand sinks throughout your concession stand ensures employees can wash their hands easily before handling food. Including a towel dispenser nearby adds convenience for your staff. If space is limited, you can integrate a hand sink into a worktable.
IMC offers a variety of hand sinks, from freestanding to wall-mounted models. For concession stands, we recommend freestanding hand sinks with foot pedal valves or wall-mounted sinks for individual use. Take a look at some of our installed hand sinks:
