Own a Proven Franchise with a Legacy of Success
For someone who has long dreamed of opening their own business but didn’t know where
to start or what type of business to pursue, here is an opportunity that flies under most
buyers’ radar—yet offers instant brand recognition and a proven system.

A Success Story Worth Sharing
Fifteen years ago, the current owner started this business with no prior experience in
operating a business. Through dedication and following the franchise’s proven model, she
not only built a thriving salon but also expanded to a second and third location. Today, she is
now in a position to retire at a relatively early age—a testament to the strength of this
franchise and its ability to create financial freedom for its owners.

A Franchise Built to Last...
Fabutan ( opened in 1979) is one of Canada’s longest-running franchises, withstanding
economic downturns, recessions, and even the challenges of COVID. Its resilience and
adaptability have kept it at the forefront of the industry.

Why Clients Choose This Salon
There are many reasons why clientele regularly visit this salon, and the majority of people
who tan today do so for health and wellness purposes:
• Skin Health & Confidence: Tanning can help manage psoriasis, eczema, and acne.
• Mental Wellness: Many clients use tanning to combat seasonal depression.
• Red Light Therapy: A fast-growing trend across North America, offering benefits such as
pain management, hair growth, collagen production, and cellular recovery from injury or
illness.
• Vacation Prep: Clients tan before traveling to avoid adverse effects from sudden exposure
to hotter, sunnier climates.

Why This Business Could Be Perfect for You
• Proven business model with strong brand recognition
• Can be operated as a absentee owner or owner operator.
• Full franchise training provided—no prior experience required
• Additional insight and tips from the retiring owner to ensure a smooth transition

If you’re searching for a well-established business you can call your own, enjoy meeting new
people, and want to add your personal touch while following a proven plan, this opportunity
should be at the top of your list.
