1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Spectra by Comcast Spectacor Renovates Ruth Eckerd Hall Kitchen to Enhance Guest
Experience
September 8, 2015 (Clearwater, FL) – Spectra by Comcast Spectacor at Ruth Eckerd Hall has recently
completed an extensive kitchen renovation that will completely redefine the guest experience at the
venue. The scope of work includes a new walk-in refrigerator with attached walk-in freezer, new epoxy
flooring throughout the entire kitchen, a new dishwasher with FRP covered wall, four new ovens, a new
tilt skillet, a new range, a new grill, new cold and hot boxes, and a new wall to block noise from the
entryway of the kitchen. These renovations allow for more efficiency in the kitchen while presenting a
positive experience for guests.
Spectra has increased catering sales at Ruth Eckerd Hall by 21% in the first year of operation, and 69% in
the second year of operation. Spectra also increased concession sales in the second year of operation
by 46%. The demand for food services at the venue continues to increase and the kitchen renovations
ensure that the guest experience is only made more positive.

improvements will allow for multiple access points to the kitchen, additional storage, higher efficiencies
when prepping and cooking food, higher quality offerings and more.
“The renovations to our kitchen here at Ruth Eckerd Hall will contribute to even better service in the
