Sun Tan City

Sun Tan City opened up a salon a few towns over from me. Not really competition because of the distance but who knows how long before they open one up close. Anyone know anything about this franchise?

Anyone on TanTalk a Sun Tan City Franchise owner?

Rick posts from time to time, I do not think the franchise owners post on the forums.

STC is the best run in the industry IMO; you can co-exist, but direct head-to-head competition will be tough.

Re: Sun Tan City

Yeah I called just to see what they had to offer. I was told they had 19 tanning rooms. I didn't think anyone opened up 19 room tanning salons anymore. If their area where they opened up there are 2 or 3 existing salons with in 3 miles of STC. I don't see all of them making it.

Rick has said their new model will always be around 20 or so rooms.

There are some STC folks here, I'm not sure if they are allowed to post anything about the franchise. Most large franchise operations want to control the narrative.

Re: Sun Tan City

There are no STC policies that would prevent a franchisee posting.

Re: Sun Tan City

Most likely the best-run company in our industry. They would be challenging to compete with.

Re: Sun Tan City

Just another franchise, although I do like their marketing and media campaigns. We have one about 30 miles from us which is a nice store with great beds. We have actually stopped in there from time to time over the years. As long as we are that far apart, we can be friends. ;)

I have seen several of them that are just standard tanning salons and nothing special though. But with any business, you have to find your niche and excel at it to keep your customers returning.
