20-Year Tanning Salon in Stark County with $45,600 Net Income
Business Description
Recent Adjusted SDE Of $34,442 On $115,911 Revenue With 9
Asking $124,900 at 2.7 Times Net Income on $129,900 in Gross Sales Through November 2025
The location has operated as a tanning salon for more than 20 years and produced $129,900 in gross sales across the first 11 months of 2025. Net income across that period ran $45,600, a 35% net margin. Current ownership acquired the business in 2023 and runs it semi-absentee at 20 hours per week.
Prepaid membership packages generated 88.8% of 2025 revenue and retail products accounted for roughly 5%. Average monthly revenue held at $11,811 across the 11 month period, which is the pattern a membership base produces rather than the swing a single visit business shows. TanTrack software records every package sale and every redemption, so renewal behavior is auditable at the transaction level.
A manager and 4 part time employees run the location, and all 5 are staying with the business. The salon trades 72 hours a week, Monday through Saturday from 9am to 8pm and Sunday from 10am to 4pm. Ownership works 20 hours weekly, so the semi-absentee structure is one a buyer inherits rather than one a buyer has to build.
The facility covers 2,400 square feet in a retail plaza at $2,325 per month, a figure that includes insurance, maintenance, and taxes. Equipment includes 14 tanning beds across premium, base, stand-up, and 360 UVB levels, a Soltron hybrid red-light bed, and a dedicated spray tan room with 2 professional application guns rather than an automated booth.
The location holds Proctor site status for tanning operator certification. Ohio requires a certified operator on duty during all sunlamp service hours, and the 4 hour certificate a new owner needs can be completed on site rather than off site.
Rent and payroll together accounted for 69% of 2025 operating expenses at $46,461, and electricity ran $10,308 across the same 11 months. Those 3 lines move the model, and all 3 are known figures a buyer can price before closing.

About the Business
- Facilities & Assets
- Tax records show the business was started or acquired in 2023, producing $37,289 in revenue during that partial first year. 2024 became its first full calendar year, with revenue climbing to $115,911.
Operations have continued uninterrupted from the same Stark County location through 2025 and into 2026, with sales tax filings confirming sustained growth rather than a plateau. The trajectory places current-year revenue on pace for approximately $140,500 annualized, extending the growth pattern established in the business's first two years. - Market Outlook / Competition
- Stark County counts approximately 373,771 residents across more than 155,000 households, with adults age 25 to 64 representing nearly half the population, the demographic segment most aligned with indoor tanning demand. The Canton, Ohio market carries an established roster of competing salons, confirming durable regional demand for the category.
The U.S. tanning salon industry was valued at roughly $1.9 billion in 2025. Salons nationally trade at a median asking price of $157,500 on median revenue of $222,224, with SDE multiples ranging from 2.06x to 3.13x. This listing's 3.63x multiple sits above that national range. - Opportunities for Growth
- Retail product sales remain underdeveloped relative to package sales, leaving expanded merchandising as an immediate opportunity requiring no new footprint.
- Additional Red-light therapy and hybrid UV/red-light services sit outside the current service menu despite growing category demand industry-wide.
- Operating hours currently limit peak-period walk-in capacity; extended hours capture additional volume from the existing client flow.
- Membership and package upsell structures raise average client spend without new client acquisition cost.
- Paid digital and social media advertising remain untapped as a client acquisition channel beyond current methods.
