I guess it depends on what the smell is?

THe smell of fresh popcorn is a HUGE plus!

it lingers in the subconcious and tells the patrons to come back for more!

on the other hand, the smell of old pop spills not cleaned up, mixed with others or the smell of unclean restrooms would be somewhat less effective at bringing MOST people back for more!

Dust? Hey isn't that why we keep the house lights dim? (Kidding)

as for spots, the only spots we have are Loganberry stains on the floor in the Aud. that won't come off, or salt stains on the carpet people track in from outside.

I had to do the same thing, juise, when I reopened three years ago. The roof leaked so the whole thing smelled musty and the seats were literally sixty years old and falling apart. The curtains were moldy and all of the carpeting reeked. I had to gut the whole thing and start over fresh. It wasn't fun but it really made the difference and let people know that we were very different from the folks that used to own this place. Good luck.

A dirty toilet will turn customers away every time. (It's a given that the booth and its equipment must be spotless.) Bob Allen The Old Showman
