What does this have to do with the indoor tanning industry? Do you think franchisees are getting better lotion deals than the indys? I don't see that. Are franchisees getting better equipment prices than indys? I don't see that either and even if they did it would only be an advantage if expansion or equipment upgrading was happening, which it's not.
