Being offered such a deal by a retail giant like WalMart has to be a franchisers dream! But I think that every salon owner, who has one or two or even three salons in the same city should be scared. Obviously the idea behind putting tanning into their stores is a well thought out move. They want to undercut the little 5 bed salon around the corner and the 20 bed salon 4 blocks away. Per session prices could very well drop and lotion prices will probably be very difficult to match. Even if all the regulations are adhered to and the staff is friendly, bulbs changed every 2 weeks and safety is a prime concern, will it be good for tanning, probably, but then again why will we care when we have to close our salons because we have been squeezed out by WalMart.............
