I went a lot further then that last night eyecandy (there is more). I won't pass judgement on someone just because they are aggressive and have a vision. I look forward to seeing how Dolce does with his new venture.

Thank you Eileen.

Your not going to find anything by Googling Dolce Ent Group actually considering that's our corporate name.. It's the company that owns all of the companies under me.

I'm very familiar with the Dolce Group and actually friends with the owner and my designer actually designed the site.

Eileen has been an extremely great help and is wonderful. I enjoy talking to her and all the input and advise that she has to give me.. It's awesome... Matt is also been a great help and I also like to put out there to Stephen Underhill.. Everyone has been reaching out to me and offering all the help they can and it's been great.

Thank you guys so much.

Nope not passing judgement, like I said I was curious as to what they did.

word of wisdom..from an "Old" guy of 15+ years in biz...

Rearch the industry trends for the last 10-15 years
Know your Market and competitors market...
Pay close attention to the "Walmarts" of tanning chains...

Don't quit your "day" job... "just yet"

This industry is cyclic..be prepared financially...

Remember this is a great industry and loads of fun but it can be deadly on the pocket book no matter how well you prepare, research and plan...It is not a consumer necessity and it is a industry of discretionary funds allowance..

Its all about numbers. Make sure the area you are at holds all the right numbers for your business period. If you already have a client list from your other business great get them to help you start a buzz going on keep it rolling from there. You sound like you know what you want to do, stay true to yourself and dont jump around your business plan.

Do you have a commercial broker to handle looking into retail space for you? This would be a great place to start, I dont know any from that area but CBRE is a great start. Theres also Kushman and Wakefield, and Kimco to name a few. I have worked with these companies and they can give you great inside numbers to see if your business fits the area your looking for.

Alot of people can help you on here as to what bed selection you need to be a great salon. The main plus to you right now is that you have a business already that you can get people to create a buzz for your brand before it happends. Like I said before if you are serious about doing this business, start there 1st.

This business is based on what good service, prices, tan you can give me. Dont run away from this model and you will do very good. If you dont we will see a salon posting about you trying to sell your beds, and you just got into the business.

So what's going on with Dolce and the tanning salon? I would love to hear moe about the celebrities and your plans. Send them my way if you do know any. The only ones I have met play ball and they most certainly do not tan.
