“When I made the decision to invest
in the tanning industry, I knew that it made sense for me to become part of a franchise because I had no tanning salon operations experience. I thoroughly researched the industry to identify the tanning franchisor that could provide the best all-around support in the areas of training, negotiated discounts, selling system, marketing, salon design and operational support—and I chose The TAN Company®.

I now see that decision paying off handsomely. We have a beautiful and efficient salon, the best system, outstanding equipment and the best-trained sales staff in the area. So, while mom-and-pop tanning salons have come and gone in my market area, we continue to grow in sales and profits.”

“Coming from the gym business, I viewed the tanning business more as an additional amenity for my members, than as a serious profit center. The TAN Company totally changed my thinking! After visiting some of the corporate and franchise salons, I was sold! The Franchise Department helped me every step of the way, in designing, construction and the opening of my store. With my well-trained staff and the guidance of the marketing department, we were able to drive new traffic into our salon, and the results were tremendous. I have already opened a second salon and have more on the way.”

I started my career with The TAN Company in 2002. As a manager in training, I experienced how much the company had to offer and saw a bright future. In a short time, I decided to make this business my career. Through company expansion and additional training offered by the company, I was promoted to the General Manager position. In less than two years, at age 23, I made a life changing decision, to become a Tan Company franchise owner. That decision has been the best investment I have ever made.”

Why Franchise? Be In Business For Yourself, Not By Yourself.* Franchising provides a business model and system to help you build your future. The combination of driven small businesses with the experience of a large company creates a rewarding partnership. By opening a franchise, you benefit from a proven system with years of experience without suffering the many pitfalls new businesses endure. Why not benefit from a system that works hard for you? • IFA (International Franchise Association) statistics show over 767,000 franchise businesses contribute to the U.S. economy. • Franchises provide over 9.8 million jobs with a payroll of over $229 billion. • According to the IFA, statistics show that 95% of franchise operations succeed, while at least four out of every five independent businesses fail before their third year.** Quick and Easy Start-Up • Nationwide chains are more recognized by lenders than private businesses, creating more accessible financing. • The TAN Company® builds on the franchise model. • A successful system with years of experience • An ongoing training program covering tanning memberships, employee certification, sales & marketing techniques, management methods, software, product knowledge and more. • By taking advantage of mass buying power, our franchisees benefit by buying more for less, ultimately increasing the bottom line. • Powerful advertising support • Choice of single location or multiple-unit locations to qualified franchise applicants These are a few reasons it makes sense to join a winning team— The TAN Company® Team!
