Rep Power: 25 | Re: Palm Beach Tanning closings From PBT: "Our Knoxville area stores are owned and operated by an independent franchisee who has made the personal decision to close his salons. This owner has made arrangements with Knoxville area Sun Tan City locations to honor all existing memberships, packages, pre-paid sessions, and upgrades through the end of the month." Read between the lines --- a. this was an independent chain that did a PBT conversion. b. This was/is a VERY strong STC market (great operator - great organization). So STC isn't going to buy them out, and nobody else is going to have the $$ to jump in an buy a multi-salon chain - in a very competitive market. c. So you make a "personal decision" - and move on to the next stage. No scary doom and gloom for the whole industry - just a case where someone decided they had a good run or no longer wanted to try to make it work against a strong competitor and were ready to move on to something new! |

Rep Power: 14 | Re: Palm Beach Tanning closings I expect that to soon happen in Metro Atlanta...STC is hitting the burbs around Atlanta, and could only suspect it won't be long before they hit the city itself. For years, I wondered what will happen if that time comes. There is a locally owned multi salon that has been well established for over 15 years..their name: SUN CITY TAN...how ironic. Could become a legal battle of names. |
