amazing how they are successful in some areas, but not here.
We have 2 close by that are about to close.

Yup, there are 3 near me. 1 closed, 1 was sold and dropped Planet Beach and the other just struggles.

2 closed by us. 2 others never opened after having "coming soon" signs up for 12 + months. Heard a few others here might not make it through slow season.

their model is a mess. No more "tanning" at planet beach, you go there for "UV Therapy"

2 opened...one struggled and sold then closed, the other strugled then got taken back by corporate and now just is a festering wound.

Louisiana must like krappy salons

I'm sorry for the bad info. I just checked their website and it appears business is booming all over the world.
