A growing appetite for tanning salons has seen Britain’s biggest chain open its fifth outlet in Yorkshire.
Doncaster has become the latest location to receive a £350,000 hi-tech salon from the expanding UK-wide firm, Indigo Sun, taking its Yorkshire-based workforce to 48.
The new venue has opened at the White Rose Retail Centre, creating eight new jobs, and adds to a Yorkshire portfolio which already includes two salons in Leeds – Pudsey and Seacroft – and others in Huddersfield and York. The move means Indigo Sun is now catering for 20,000 regular customers across Yorkshire, with each spending an average of £500 each year on treatments.
Frank Taylor, the Founder and CEO of the family firm, hopes the latest opening will further accommodate the booming demand from tanning enthusiasts. He said: “We are seeing the popularity of tanning salons grow across the UK, and Yorkshire is a particular hotspot for us. People here want to look and feel their best, particularly during the holiday season, which means there is a real enthusiasm for safe, healthy, tanning options. It’s important for us to meet this demand, so we are really pleased to have landed such an ideal location to give customers even greater choice.”
