The number of tanners is declining every year. Years ago I was lucky to close before mid-night because of the number of tanners. Not today.
There are SO many popping up on Craigslist on a daily basis, the industry is fading faster than a cheap tan, major bed manufacturers that ruled the industry in its heyday have closed shop..I always said, a tattoo studio now has more prestige as a new business than an existing tan salon. They seem to be opening here at the speed tanning was in the 80's...

Go open a Tattoo shop :)

I agree with everyone. Be careful & check profit, if there is any. Might be why she's selling. I just brought last September & it's been tough with only one salon. It is a seasonal business & does require alot of your time & can be expensive depending on how run down the salon is when you purchase it. Hope this helps.
