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. \u201cIt\u2019s a huge honor for Palm Beach Tan to be ranked 20th among the nation\u2019s top 500 franchises as a leading franchise brand,\u201d said Diane Lucas, CEO of Palm Beach Tan, Inc. \u201cThis 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.\u201d Palm Beach Tan was previously ranked No. 86 on the 2019 Franchise 500\u00ae List.
