Re: Labor day

The non compete specifically states "no tanning units."

I am inline with the post above. Do u rattle a hornets nest when your lease is up for renewal in 18 months.
The salon is 6000 sq ft and the PF coming in is way larger.
The irony is PF was in the same building 4 yrs ago and foreclosed. Sat empty for 4 yrs.
We remained there 20 yrs through the place being 50% vacant and these guys roll back in like they never screwed them.
The reality is that it is business. But..speak to lawyer tomm.
Prob going to try and leverage this for better lease terms in the end though. Sucks to be the little guy.

Re: Labor day

Sounds to me you have a good case. I've sued and won against landlords and have been sued and lost also. Bottom line is it's in writing. My thought is the damage is already done on the business relationship with your landlord so I would go after him.
( Most leases are written agreeing that losing party pays your attorney cost ) If he is in default you could break the lease and move to another spot. I visit my daughter in the springs often and it seems there's loads of empty spaces there. If his attorney also feels he's in default I have a feeling he will come to you with some very favorable terms to stay. Let us know.

Re: Labor day

Most leases (not all) exclude the big boxes when it come to exclusivity.

Re: Labor day

I am in the process of moving my flagship to a location that has a gym with one tanning unit and I am now curious as to whether or not the landlord has an exclusivity contract with them. I highly doubt it when it comes to tanning equipment.

As for Labor Day I ran a labor day blowout sale with 35% off on lotions. Product Sales were up and we didn't lose money so I'll take it

Re: Labor day

This is crazy, your summer numbers should not be down. When you believe that people don't tan and salons can't make money during summer months, that belief will insure that summer months will be down. Sales and increases in sales should be consistent year round.

What you do during the active tanning season will determine your level of success during the summer months.
EFT memberships and what and where you advertise during the summer months is key.

Also EFT memberships must be supported by the rest of your price structure. Just adding EFT packages will not insure their success.

The EFT membership must be the best value of everything you offer.
I see too many levels and session packages sold at too great of a discount making it impossible to sell monthly and EFT memberships.

This is a major contributor to declining sales.
