Default Florida's "Boca Tanning Club" plans 25-50 location expansion in next 2 years

THE PRAKAS GROUP NAMED EXCLUSIVE BROKER TO REPRESENT BOCA TANNING CLUB THROUGHOUT FLORIDA

South Florida - BOCA RATON/ORLANDO/TAMPA, FL – Athan “Tom” Prakas, president/broker of The Prakas Group, Inc., a full service real estate brokerage specializing in commercial transactions, business brokerage, restaurants and hospitality properties, has announced that the firm has been selected as exclusive broker to represent Boca Tanning Club for new locations through South Florida, Orlando, and Tampa. The Retail Division of The Prakas Group including John Douglas, Alan MacCauley and Maureen Ruthman will represent Boca Tanning Club in site selection and leasing of 25-50 sites in the next 24 months in an aggressive expansion plan.

The first Boca Tanning Club location, which opened in 2001 in Boca Raton by president Dan Boronico, tested the salon’s concept of being open for business 24 hours and offering high end tanning beds and reasonable prices. The prototype’s success led to a second site opening in Palm Beach Lakes, FL, with a third in Deerfield Beach which was brokered by The Prakas Group. Other South Florida sites in the planning stages for 2007 include South Beach, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Pembroke Pines, Wilton Manors, and Corals Springs, and the company is now offering franchise opportunities. The Prakas Group is representing the tanning salon for both company-owned and franchise locations.


According to Tom Prakas, the ideal site for Boca Tanning Club would range between 1,700 and 2,900 SF, located in an inline or endcap space within a shopping center, near a spa or health club in a high traffic area. “The Prakas Group is excited to take a role in Boca Tanning Club’s expansion throughout Florida,” said Prakas. “Our Retail Division has identified the keys to success for the tanning salon based on demographics and the most desirable product type. Boca Tanning Club, with its well-planned business model, has the potential to dominate the tanning salon market in South Florida, Orlando and Tampa.” http://www.bocatanningclub.com/

The Prakas Group, Inc., established in 2000, provides brokerage services throughout all of Florida’s metropolitan areas and strategically located properties throughout the country. The company is headquartered at 705 East Palmetto Park Road, Boca Raton, FL with additional offices at 7380 Sand Lake in Orlando, FL. For more information, contact The Prakas Group at (561) 368-0003, or visit the company’s website at www.prakasgroup.com.

$18 for a single session in their base unit.

It is a sungate, but there can't be that many areas that will support this business model.

Shane, don't knock it if you haven't tried it my man...you'd be shocked at what works in what areas... and for the record, if I think they charge too little for the "base" level.
