Market Competition and Expansion:

This well established indoor tanning facility has managed to carve out and sustain a unique market niche. The smoothly run operation offers its clients a low cost, no frills tanning product at an unbeatable price. While new salons with high overhead structures have moved into the market, they have had little impact on this salon’s profitability. In fact, with the economy where it currently is, this location has noticed an influx of returning former clients that may have opted for costlier salon’s in years past.

In fact, with the economy where it currently is, this location has noticed an influx of returning former clients that may have opted for costlier salon’s in years past. This low cost operation has many avenues for revenue growth or even further cost reductions. New owners will likely seek to offer higher dollar sale tanning options such a medium to high pressure beds, a customized spray tan or a spray tan booth option, a stand up spray tan unit, or complementary services such as massage, photo-facials (landlord permitting), etc. New owners may also seek to capitalize on the space via expanding the retail offering into clothing, swimsuits, or other similar products, or eventually cut costs altogether by working at the location, sub-letting space to service providers, or eliminating 50% of the floor space (the lease is for two 1,500 square feet units), and maximizing space efficiency and bed utilization.
