Description:
Island Glow started as a 3 unit tanning salon in May 2005. We have continued to grow since being open, but always with a struggle due to the up and down of the economy in our small town. We added 2 additional beds the follow Feb. and continued to be busy. We finally outgrew our location, and decided to move to bigger place with option for more beds. We are in that location now, but due to additional overhead moving and the tremendous downturn of the economy here, we are in need of consolidation of business loans or we are going to be in dire need and will possibly have to close. We have a very lucrative business and stay busy, but due to situation, we can never get above the water.
