September 27, 2007 - Abingdon, Md. – Aruba Tanning, a unique tanning salon that offers a five star resort style experience announced that it is franchising and bringing its upscale, yet affordable “Aruba Experience” to cities across the United States.

The “Aruba Experience” begins the minute the guest walks through the door and is transported to a vacation like experience at an upscale resort. The spacious lobby features warm wood tones and colors as well as the tranquility of a waterfall. Guests are greeted by name by a friendly, knowledgeable staff and shown to a pristine cabana where a state-of-the-art tanning bed awaits them.

Whether the guest is a first time tanner, frequent tanner or wants a spray tan for quick results, Aruba Tanning offers five different levels of equipment providing a variety of tanning options. From ala carte tanning services and unlimited usage membership to specialty packages and Aruba Rewards, a free rewards program, Aruba provides a one-of-a kind experience at an affordable price.

All of the tanning beds are in relaxing cabanas that match the atmosphere of the lobby. In addition, the Salon features a selection of premium tanning products, unique jewelry and other items to complement the tan.

“The majority of indoor tanning salons out there are not fully satisfying the needs of their customers who are looking for more than just a tan, but a tanning experience. The “Aruba Experience” fills this void providing a clean, comfortable escape that is like no other in the industry,” said Luke Golueke, owner of Aruba Tanning. “Franchising allows us to share our success with other owners and tanners throughout the country. This has been our mission since Aruba Tanning’s inception.”

Currently, Aruba Tanning has two corporate locations in Abingdon and Cockeysville, Md.
