Re: going to buy a distressed salon Again, the issues I have brought up are MAJOR issues. You need to have your OWN control of your AC unit. You need to have your OWN panel for your beds. You need to KNOW your demographic NOT just that there is a tanning salon within 5 miles, in order to be successful. You need a landlord that KNOWS the size of his own retail space he is renting. You just arent listening. You are going to lose way more money than you will make in the next few years. This is an industry where if prices of regualr goods and services go up, you are the first thing cut from the budget. PEople will give up tanning to buy food and gas. IF there is (God forbid!) another 9/11 here, many salons will close. People stopped travelling, stopped eating out, spent more time with family. THta meant they didnt TAN. GO buy a failing food joint or a hair salon. Money better spent and more year round income. I do have a question, that I am sure you will ignore like the rest of mine. WHY are you so hell bent on the tanning industry? WHat makes THIS industry so appealing to you? __________________ |
