After 25 years in business, Candlelite Bowling Centers, located in Saginaw County Michigan has found the secret to attracting both smoking and non-smoking customers while keeping employee job satisfaction high. By installing an air cleaning system from AbsoAir based in Waterford Michigan, bowling center owner Gary Richards says, "We have not lost any customers to a smoky environment as we did prior to the air cleaners installation. We would not have ever believed that the smell of smoke could have effectively been eliminated in a bowling center at night."

A Real Difference
Mr. Richards has been in the recreational and entertainment business for 26 years and operates three bowling centers in Saginaw County Michigan as well as a banquet center, billiard room, and other lounges. He goes on to say that "Our customers and employees are continuously commenting on the new quality of the air. The air smells fresher and their clothing no longer smells like smoke when they go home." This can make a big difference in attracting and retaining the non-smoking customer, but perhaps has an equally significant impact with employees, many of who may be working in the environment for well over eight hours per shift.

Part of a Growing Trend
Candlelite is part of a growing number of bowling centers across the country who have decided to do something about losing bowlers and employees because of the smoky environment often found in the centers. The air cleaners can eliminate as much as 95% of air pollutants including smoke. This means that they can allow smoking patrons to continue to smoke, attract non-smoking clients and keep employees much happier. Mr. Richards notes, "After the air cleaners were installed 99% of all smoke smells were eliminated. The air cleaners are the single most effective purchase you can make to improve customer satisfaction." When asked about his experience with AbsoAir, he replies that the company is "very prompt and courteous and the monthly filter service is performed on time and efficiently."
