Spray Tan of America
The Leader In Sunless Tanning Franchises
Spray Tan of America is based in the Seattle, Washington area and was founded in early 2002. The company intends to capitalize on the 5 billion dollar a year tanning industry through the sunless tanning method of airbrushing.
The goal of the company is to set up franchised salons nationwide so they can provide a healthier and safer way to tan as an alternative to the conventional tanning beds that can produce dangerous UV rays. This new method of sunless tanning has been a big hit with the tanning public and celebrities and at affordable prices it is very competitive with the current method of tanning.
The vision for the future of the company will be to strive to develop new technologies and application systems for the sunless tanning industry. In addition, Spray Tan of America is becoming a household name nation wide making its name synonymous with air brush tanning. Providing this new and innovative business in the form of a franchise allows ordinary people to be "in business for themselves, but not by themselves".
The concept of developing sunless tanning salons on a franchise basis was done after extensive reseach into the industry and finding that most people who got into the business were out of business within 1 year. The main reason for these closings were that the business owners had no concrete direction, support, research or development in this fast pace ever changing industry. Spray Tan of America has made sunless tanning its primary profit center and is adding secondary profit centers as well that go hand in hand with this business. We have since learned that if developed properly it can also be a good secondary profit center when incorperated with other ongoing businesses. To be left to fend for themselves when it came to marketing and advertising their product and services, along with no support as to the changing trends has made existing salons vulnerable to other more efficient salons. Other companies sell the systems and solution for the industry, we decided to sell a business that helps each salon owner be successful. After all, spending money on equipment is easy, generating revenues is a bit more difficult. We can achieve this through combined advertising, purchasing, research and deleopment and ongoing support which makes franchising the best way to go.
Spray Tan of America has a staff that is dedicated to the goal of the company with the utmost importance on customer service and quality. This commitment makes Spray Tan of America the leader as the first exclusive airbrush tanning salon franchise in the world.

The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
