“The Palms Tanning Resort is a truly unique and exciting concept in indoor tanning which, since opening in 2003, has established an amazing track record, with gross company revenues putting it in the top 9 percent of all 35,000 tanning salons nationwide,” notes Harris. “My wife Brandy and I are extremely excited about our new franchise location here in Castle Rock, as no other tanning salon in the area compares with respect to our distinctive combination of facility size, equipment quality, luxurious atmosphere, amenities and first-class guest service. The upcoming grand opening event will be a tremendous amount of fun for all, and will duly showcase why The Palms provides much more than just a tan.”
The Palms Tanning Resort has established a notable celebrity following, and is the only tanning salon in Colorado to be chosen as the official tanning resort of The Denver Broncos Cheerleaders, The Colorado Mammoth Wild Bunch, The Denver Nuggets Dancers and The Denver Outlaws Dance Team.
Inside The Palms, guests experience a massive cascading waterfall and rock cave entrance, tanning bungalows with authentic thatch roofs, an immense theatre wall displaying beautiful ocean and sunset images, imported bamboo, granite, custom tile finishes, and custom rock flooring. Each private tanning bungalow is elegantly appointed with all of the amenities guests need – essential personal items, fresh towels, protective eyewear, a private CD stereo and iPod input with personal stereo headset, and an alternate “escape” headset allowing guests to listen to the soothing sounds of ocean waves while enjoying their tanning experience. Tanning rooms feature one of 14 models of German and Italian manufactured tanning beds.
