Hottest New Franchises
2015
After successfully operating brick & mortar tanning salons, as well as mobile sunless tanning businesses, we’ve decided to share our secrets with a few select individuals. Without question, mobile airbrush tanning offers substantial opportunities. And, because the equipment is portable, high expenses of commercial locations have been eliminated. As a GloPatrol franchise owner, you’ll receive professional training, cutting-edge equipment, preferred pricing on tanning supplies, and marketing support to help make your mobile tanning business a success. And we’ll keep competition to a minimum, issuing only a limited number of franchises based on location populations.
