SUN TAN CITY
We provide tanning salon services and related wellness offerings for adults, with most of our customers falling between the ages of 18 and 44. Our salons typically include about 15 to 25 tanning beds, along with sunless tanning booths and a selection of skin care and beauty products, services, and accessories. We also offer spa and wellness services such as hydromassage, sauna, red light, blue light, infrared light, and in some locations cryotherapy equipment as we continue testing new services. Our business operates as a retail salon model, where customers visit locations for tanning sessions and complementary beauty and wellness treatments. Demand is seasonal, with the strongest period typically from February through June.
