“With the right franchisee partner, together we are poised for real growth. We are excited for hard-working franchise owners to join our team, and we are committed to helping you establish your business and achieve your goals.”
—Bobby Catone, Owner
Bobby Catone opened his first tanning Salon in November of 1995 in Staten Island, NY. His belief in the value of excellent customer service, including friendly, knowledgeable personnel and clean, neat facilities, coupled with state-of-the-art equipment, quickly became the cornerstone of his operations. This focus led to a loyal following of tanning enthusiasts at his locations.
Over the next 20 years, Bobby opened additional locations, built a strong client base and eventually sold the locations to independent operators. Bobby opened over 10 locations. This was a first step that led him to consider franchising Sunbelievable because he enjoyed being part of launching local, independently owned tanning Salons.
Through this process, Bobby perfected the operating systems and procedures and made the decision to franchise the business in late 2016. Officially launching the Sunbelievable franchise brand in 2018, his careful selection of franchisees is what has helped the brand grow to where it is today.

Simple Build-Out & Easy Maintainance with Proven Systems
There won’t be weeks of putting up walls and sheetrock. Sunbelievable’s custom walls are shipped in and assembled by a private company.
Everything from our epoxy floor to tanning booths in your Sunbelievable Salon will be strategically branded. The modern look is also extremely easy to keep clean—just wipe away dirt or lotion and there won’t have any staining.
Also, franchisees will only be required to have 8 to 10 tanning units, so it’s much easier to manage than the larger mega Salons. We have worked hard to provide the systems and procedures that go along with our state-of-the-art tanning equipment and our interior modular store design—making Sunbelievable Salons a place that customers love to visit over and over again.
