"The Palms Tanning Resort is a truly unique and exciting concept in indoor tanning which, since opening in 2003, has established an amazing track record, with gross company revenues putting it in the top 9% of all 35,000 tanning salons nationwide," notes Harris. "My wife Brandy and I are extremely excited about our new franchise location here in Castle Rock, as no other tanning salon in the area compares with respect to our distinctive combination of facility size, equipment quality, luxurious atmosphere, amenities and first-class guest service. The upcoming Grand Opening event will be a tremendous amount of fun for all, and will duly showcase why The Palms provides much more than just a tan."

The Palms Tanning Resort has established a notable celebrity following, and is the only tanning salon in all of Colorado to be chosen as the official tanning resort of The Denver Broncos Cheerleaders, The Colorado Mammoth Wild Bunch, The Denver Nuggets Dancers and The Denver Outlaws Dance Team. And with good reason.

The high-end technology, interior decor and ambience of The Palms four Denver-area locations is unlike any other salon in the world. From its unique, upscale island resort atmosphere, to its industry-leading German and Italian manufactured tanning beds (14 leading-edge models in all) assuring total user comfort and amazing tanning results, to its newest and most advanced Mystic Tan sunless tanning system, to its steadfast dedication to providing a luxe spa-like experience with impeccable customer service to each and every guest, The Palms Tanning Resort stands alone amid the indoor tanning industry.

Inside The Palms guests experience a massive cascading waterfall and rock cave entrance, tanning bungalows with authentic thatch roof, an immense theatre wall displaying beautiful ocean and sunset images, imported bamboo, granite, custom tile finishes, and custom rock flooring. Each private tanning bungalow is elegantly appointed with all of the amenities guests need – essential personal items, fresh towels, protective eyewear, a private CD stereo and iPod input with personal stereo headset, and an alternate "ESCAPE" headset allowing guests to listen to the soothing sounds of ocean waves while enjoying their tanning experience.
