25+ Years and Time To Retire!!!! The Best businesses I have sold over the past 26 years are those where the owners are retiring. Those who are retiring typically have taken pride in what they do and that always reflects in their business, their equipment and their reputation in the community. Whiteford Auctions is proud to offer the Exclusive Chanhassen "SAFARI TANNING' Business for sale with all equipment, clientele list, reputable Safari Tan name for over 25 years, Safaritanning.com website domain name so you are ready to go!!! The building is undergoing a complete remodel and will be absolutely stunning when it is completed. The Auction DOES NOT include the building but is available for lease. I have sold a number of tanning beds and complete tanning business however I can say I have never sold a tanning business anywhere close to this one. This one is a unique from many aspects, #1 the equipment has been maintained and up kept to the highest standard which is reflected in the condition which each bidder will need to determine for themselves and inspect in person. I will say this is the cleanest well kept salon we have ever sold. It would be well worth a trip to inspect. Inspection hours are their regular business hours. #2 Same Name(Safari Tan), Same Owner, Same Location for 32 years in the Tanning business is UNHEARD OF!!! #3 LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION - Physical location and WWW internet location. Located in Chanhassen in a prime area! Just blocks fro the Chanhassen diner theater, restaurants, entertainment and current building projects going on within a block putting up new restaurants like Chipotle and others. Not only a prime are but a prime name! SAFARITANNING.COM domain name alone has substantial value. We obtained an estimated website appraisal from siteprice.org and just the domain name appraised at $1,027 which is included in this package. So whether you stay in this location or not you still have the the Safari Tan website domain name which can have quite a bit of future value.
The owners had an Attorney who valued the current business at $40,000-$50,000. Our reserve is unbelievably modest and set an amount so a new owner can come in and be successful out of the gate. Looking for something new to do? Looking for an investment to grow and bring to the next level? Don't pass on this one it's worth looking into. One visit to see their operations and you will see what I observed and know why this is such a rare opportunity!!!
All items will need to be removed on the dates given for the pick up day but winning bidder will have the option to lease the new space at the current location if they desire to carry-on the Safari Tan name and business that has been built for the past 25+ years. See the pics of what the new building will look like.
