Intersting. In other words your saying $250k-$300k for 6 beds plus a spray booth sounds exagerated? Before 2007 I know it was possible but I haven't seen traffic like that for many years now. I considered that high volume and above average but I know it was possible back then.

But this is the whole point of the post. The traffic just isn't the same as it used to be. It seems to me that the industry is a lot different post 2008. It makes me wonder how salons can support the payments on the new $30,000-50,000 tanning beds. It is interesting to get more feedback on what may be considered good sales. I hope the comments keep coming in.
