I believe youcan learn alot from the big guys. You have to learn from your biggest competition and make it better. Take the things that they do well and add in the great service and personal feal to the salon.
About franchising....I agree to some extent. There are many franchises out there that are crazy. I would not personally open a tanning franchise and I own seven figure restaraunt franchise. Most people can build a tanning salon with some good old research and help from a distributor or a consultant like Stephen Underhill. But, there are the people that need thier hands held the whole time and need to get common sense from a franchisor. Unfortunately, those that need that much help are the kind of people that wont admit it.
