I can't believe that, honestly I don't think there are enough consumers that will purchase one for their personal use, at least in this economy

They've been selling them for a couple of years now. Kind of makes sense since he owns a majority of Sunshine Holdings.

There should be a demand for home tanning beds when parents that can think on their own two feet start buying them for their teens after teen bans go in effect... I wonder how many will charge to tan in their garages. lol

Haha Eileen, I have a lady whose daughter was tanning with us and when she came in earlier in the year to tan we asked about her daughter and she said why should I pay $50 for her to tan here when she can tan in her "friend's mom's sister's bed for $20".

i retail used beds whenever i can...helps in always upgrading...you lose a client kinda...i mean you gain $1500-$2000 from them and they usually still come in now and then for products and upgraded units too.

Menards also sell AG/DS/CT lotions too. That's what you expect to find in a home improvement store! Expect to see a decal on their Nascar cars next

Menards selling beds might be a good thing. It trains the sheeple to think that tanning is mainstream
