As for the tanning salon, it has turned out to be an awesome experience that our entire family loves. Pam works at the salon almost every day. Lindsey who is now a Junior in college works at the salon and helps Pam out when needed and our youngest daughter Hannah who is a Junior in high school works some part time when school and sports allow it. We still have Samantha March working as much as she can as she is also going to college full time. Sam has been our rock at the salon as she understands how the entire salon works and sometimes still teaches us things. Britnay Taljonick is also still working for us, she recently decided to try something new that didn't work out and we gladly asked her back to help us out. She has also been a great employee, helping out whenever needed. We recently hired a few part time helpers in Brooke McGlone who works when she is available, but she is trying to go to school and work at Menards full time so she is very busy, we are happy to have her help when we can get it. We also have Shawn's son Austin Spishak working part time at the salon now, he is also working at Richfield Bowl and Grand Blanc Lanes and is a Senior at Davison High School.
I am also thankful for my partner in this business Shawn Spishak who has his other business (Retail Finishes) to run. Shawn helps out when asked and is great for any construction jobs that we need done at the salon and his main man Gary VanFossen who has helped out a lot at the salon the last few years.
As I look back on the last 2 years I must say, it is amazing that 2 years have gone by already, it seems like it has only been a few months since we bought the business. I don't mind doing the maintenance at the salon, it is part of why we bought the place. I get to tear apart the beds and hexes and clean them, change the bulbs, fix the wiring and whatever else needs to get done to make sure the business runs smooth.
We are very blessed that the community supports us in our dream of owning a business and we will always remain thankful for each and every customer that we have. Owning a business is not what everyone thinks it is, it can be stressful, scary and a lot of work, but if you treat it right, it can be very rewarding.
We hope that you will continue to support us as we get ready to celebrate our 2nd year in business and the 10th year that Mega Tan has been in business. We have our annual anniversary sale coming up in a few weeks and would love for you to come do your Christmas shopping with us.
