Business Opportunities

Marcel's has a strict philosophy that has made us very successful in the tanning business and sets us apart; we take the guesswork out of the tanning process.

As a new owner you will receive a turnkey operation, and there will be many benefits to being a part of the Marcel's corporation. Coop purchasing power of products such as, bulbs, tanning lotion, cobalt filters and of course, Coop advertising.

Marcel's advertising, radio, television, billboards and all media are already produced, licensed and available for you to use in your new market area. Marcel's Tanning Salons, Inc holds all creative control.

As a new owner you will be shown every thing you need to know as far as being an on-site owner or an absent owner. You will be provided all the information you need and taught how to use it, from talking to a customer, working on or troubleshooting beds, and inputting information into your QuickBooks Pro program.

Marcel's is set up as a franchise, non-franchise as we have rules for you to run under the Marcel's name, but you pay no franchise fees. How does that work? We build your salon turnkey and make sure it is set up properly. We do not take a franchise fee from you, so your working capital and profit stays with you.

What does Marcel's get out of this? We get the satisfaction that salons are being set up properly all over the country and so people have a safer option than the standard tanning beds.

Marcel's uses only one kind of bed, Ultrabronz, and we” Guarantee Not To Burn”. We offer that not as a sales pitch, but as a reality. Ultrabronz 818 model offers a powerful U.V.A. bed (22,500 watts) and an extremely low U.V.B. output (one tenth of 1%). This output gives us the lowest output of any bed on the market.

Marcel's provides start-up paperwork forms such as registration sheets, daily checkout sheets, weekly envelopes, deposit envelopes, gift certificates, scheduling books and registration cards.

We are also upgrading all salons with new to the tanning business technology - a cashless system for absent owners or salon owners with more than one location. This system puts maximum profit in your pocket.

Marcel's has been in the tanning business for 13 years and has built 6 locations and sold 5 with only one Marcel's remaining at 1530 Cassopolis St. Elkhart, IN.

Remember, if it doesn't say Marcel's over the door, it is not a Marcel's.
