they are going to mass produce tons of salons that aren't needed and watch them fall apart, or they are going to charge an outrageous franchise fees for their name...500 salons in 5 years, really...everyone on here talks about how we are already over saturated with salons, but these guys think that they can do it because of who they are...really.

Unless they are actually 10 times smarter then portrayed on the "reality" show then good for them.

Blech! I can't stand how they run their salons. I wouldn't have even one of their employees working for me. Way too much drama going on.

What kills me is that they are sitting there saying "Wow! What a GREAT business model! I love how they run their salons and they have model employees. I think I will invest tons of money in them and be a franchisee."

How can anyone look at them and think it is a good idea to invest?

That is why I am saying. what you see on TV is probably not what day to day is. It is all fake, scripted and made to look that chaotic for the drama aspect.

For someone that owns that many Subways I am sure he knows they don't really run their places like that or no way he would sign that.

Maybe it will end up being another Hollywood Tans saga by the 5yr. mark. Who knows if they really have all of their ducks in a row to create consistency and a truly branded image.

it is branded sure. But it is a BS franchise with no model to follow.....and Dallas doesn't need more salons...Texas is finally being hit with a slow down. He WILL regret it.

On the other hand, maybe he is looking for business write offs to balance his Subway success?

LA Sunset Tans has a tanning business.

An agent contacted the owners and said "Your salon will make great TV. Let me make some calls."

A production company said to the agent "You're right. This will make great TV. Here's a check."

This production company sold this show to a TV network.

The TV network is, in my area, on basic cable.

If you think of everything that happened to go from their salon to our TV screens ... it's a combination of luck and working with skillful people along the way..

Is anyone really suggesting that the LA Sunset Tans owners should NOT try to strike while the iron is hot??

No one is faulting the owners of Sunset Tans at all. In fact, quite the opposite. I am faulting the idiots that are investing in it. They are the ones I question. The owners are smart to capitalize on this short lived fame they are getting. Wont be happening for long. THat show is too dumb and people are going to see the truth eventually. Maybe after they invest their fortune from Subway.
