A Bar That Sells Air
February 12, 2013
Big Flats (WENY) - A new bar is open in the Arnot mall, and they're not serving alcohol, instead it's selling oxygen. "Fit N' Fresh" is a new kiosk, offering a unique product for shoppers, scented O2. Oxygen bars are popular all over the world including Japan, Europe and the west coast. Through a nasal tube, customers breathe scented air that's saturated with 92-percent oxygen. Proponents say that it gives you energy, it's a natural remedy for headaches, migraines and even hangovers, but those claims aren't proven. The owner of 'Fit and Fresh' Matt Newcomb says he just wanted to bring something new to the Twin Tiers.
    
“Everybody experiences it differently some people say it gives them a little bit of an energy boost, a lot of people say its relaxing but overall people say its refreshing and it gives you a refreshing kick to your day,” says Newcomb.
     
Fit N' Fresh has a second location at Raven's landing in Watkins Glen.
