I'm evil. That's what I did.

The other salon is behind us. My building is on a corner and I'm on one street and they're on the other but our parking lots are pretty much butted up to each other. They had 15 year old beds and was somewhere I wouldn't want to tan so we decided to offer something nicer. They were for sale within a year. He had a realtor phone us and offer it to us for $80,000. We countered with $10,000 and 6 months later he listed it for $49,000. Sheeesh, wish I scooped it at $80K.

Now the new owner has already told one of our customers (who he asked if she was going to come tan at his salon and she said no she tans with us) to let him know if we get posted (Hubby's military) that he'll buy our salon because he can't compete. Uhhhh, didn't you think about that before buying it???

That's my story. I'm evil. I was going to do a Free Tan Weekend when he planned to do an open house because he started putting wipes and deodorant in the room after coming to my salon for a tan.
