After being in this business for several years you would have thought I knew everything. I was just informed that my major competition, a salon called "Express Tan" is actually owned by my distributor, Four Seasons. NO wonder I can not compete with their prices and equipment. Is this a normal procedure for tanning distributors to have a chain of salons?

I hope you're not still buying from them! Find a distributor that isn't your competition.

exactly find another distributor but make it known to them why you are finding another distributor.

Four Seasons likes to double dip! They throw out this really good line to get you to order from them - - that they'll sell to you at 35 to 40 percent off, but what they fail to tell you is that the deal is not good forever, it's just for a limited time. As you have found out, they like too, to open their own salons in our neighborhoods and try to keep it a secret who they really are. It's just really bad business practice on their part. The word will get around and it WILL catch up with them.
