The Pigskin is the premier Bar and Grille restaurant in Athens, located in the heart of Uptown. They please their customers daily and when they make changes, they want to be certain of the expected results.
“The energy savings is nice. We are seeing 50% reduction in regular gas use for the kitchen. We are using less electricity by turning off some electric equipment which ran all the time. Our staff are seeing the benefits daily from the new equipment. This project was a homerun for us!”
– Ric Wasserman, Owner of The Pigskin
