What was considered a passing fad several years ago is
now as much a part of our lifestyle as renting a video and drive-thrus. Indoor tanning is major in the fitness and beauty sector. It is a passive form of self indulgence for the look great, feel
great set sweeping all over and encompassing all generations. We are pleased about our growth and development within our franchise business. We are aggressively seeking
franchisees to join the Desert Sun network.
People feel good when they look good and Aruba Tanning is a business where you make people look good. The quality of service and the overall experience separate one business from another in the tanning industry. We are not the biggest tanning franchise, nor do we want to be. We are less concerned with having hundreds of salons and more concerned with the success of each franchisee. One look and you will see, the Aruba Experience is second to none. That is the same attention to detail that we provide to each individual franchisee. Relax, Unwind, Enjoy and share the Aruba Experience with others in your community. There is nowhere else to get this tanning experience without having to buy a plane ticket and heading to a far-off spa. It is the escape from the daily pressures of life. The guest's time in the salon will pass, but they will take the tan with them, until their next visit.
