Key West Tanning & Spray Bar | Application Preview

 

Key West Tanning & Spray Bar is seeking government grants to purchase two red light therapy beds and renovate the rooms to accommodate them. The business plan highlights the growth potential in Huber Heights, with 850 new apartments being developed nearby, creating an opportunity for expansion into additional wellness and beauty services.

The owner, a first-generation businesswoman from a low-income background, expresses a strong desire to build a legacy for her family and foster personal growth. As a sole proprietor of a minority women-owned business, she believes this funding will empower her to achieve those goals.

In terms of competition, the main rivals include Glo Tanning, LA Tan, and Planet Fitness, which also offers tanning as part of their memberships. However, the salon's competitive edge lies in its affordability, lack of contracts or automatic billing, and its commitment to community involvement through sponsorships. The owner takes pride in being the only women-owned tanning salon in Huber Heights, differentiating her business from the male-owned chains in the area.

  • Business Plan

    Huber Heights is growing with 850 new apartments being built right behind my business. If lucky I can expand to the next building and grow the business geared towards the wellness of redlight and some beauty services. I am the first business owner in my family and for that I am proud. I come from a poverty-stricken childhood and would like to have something to grow for my family as well as growth for myself. I am the sole owner as a minority women owned business.

  • Self Identified Competition

    Glo Tanning LA Tan Planet Fitness (tanning included in membership) My salon is affordable and a small business. It offers services with no contracts or automatic billing like the other big, chained salons in the area. That sets me apart and a lot of time brings me business from the other competitors. I am also the only tanning salon in Huber that is active in giving back to the community ( sponsorships ). Also, those chained salons are male owned. I am the only women owned salon in Huber Heights.
