DALLAS, TX — January 28, 2020 — Palm Beach Tan, the nation’s largest indoor tanning provider, today announced that it has been named in the Top 20 for Entrepreneur magazine’s coveted 2020 Franchise 500® – the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Out of 1,105 companies that applied, Palm Beach Tan ranked at No. 20 for its exceptional performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, support and brand power.

Now operating more than 550 franchised and company-owned locations in 38 states, Palm Beach Tan has more than doubled its footprint in the last five years through acquisitions, new construction and franchise growth.

“It’s a huge honor for Palm Beach Tan to be ranked 20th among the nation’s top 500 franchises as a leading franchise brand,” said Diane Lucas, CEO of Palm Beach Tan, Inc. “This recognition from Entrepreneur magazine is extremely rewarding and proves to be a testament of the commitment and passion our franchisees have for the Palm Beach Tan business and every single one of our customers.”

To compile the ranking, all eligible franchises were given a cumulative score based on more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500^® in ranking order. Key factors that go into evaluation include the Five Pillars of the Franchise 500^® – costs and fees, size and growth, financial strength and stability, brand strength and support.
