Steve,
While I am onboard with the enthusiasm, I have to disagree with you; not every tanning salon fails because of a poor "plan". Shifts in demagraphics, competition, etc. are largely beyond your control. personally, I don't know how anyone survives in a town of 25,000 with 8 tanning salons. What are great ideas now, simply may not work in 5 years-has nothing to do with a "plan". That is why any private business is risky including tanning. The truth of the matter is that there are still far too many tanning salons in a shrinking market.
