The sale was finalized on Nov. 12, and the newly acquired salons will begin operating as Palm Beach Tan today. One location in Boca Raton and one in Pompano Beach, Florida, will continue to be owned and operated by Darque Tan. Today\u2019s transaction marks the culmination of a long relationship between the two companies. Over the past several years, Palm Beach Tan has acquired Darque Tan locations in Dallas, Austin, Phoenix and California. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to grow the Palm Beach Tan family with the addition of these Darque Tan salons,\u201d said Diane Lucas, president and CEO of Palm Beach Tan. \u201cDarque Tan has established a reputation in the industry of providing superior service to their customers and care to their employees. We look forward to continuing that legacy.\u201d After more than 30 years in business, Darque Tan, Inc. owners Robbie and Vonda Segler have decided to pursue other interests. \u201cWe\u2019re fortunate to have built a successful operation with Darque Tan, Inc. over our many years in the tanning industry, and we\u2019re confident that our employees and customers will experience a smooth transition during this exciting time,\u201d said Robbie Segler, founder of Darque Tan. Palm Beach Tan will be rebranding 44 of the Darque Tan locations. Because of the proximity to existing salons, three locations in Houston and one in Austin will be closing. All locations in Houston and Boston will be owned and operated by Palm Beach Tan Corporate, while locations in the Austin area and Minneapolis\/St. Paul will be owned and operated by longtime Palm Beach Tan franchisees. Existing customer accounts with Darque Tan will be transferred to Palm Beach Tan, and all memberships, sessions, credits and packages will be honored.
