About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Sun Tan City and noticed something strange. The usually quiet neighborhood was filled with an oddly familiar scent—like sunscreen mixed with tropical fruits. Curious, he parked his truck and followed the aroma inside. As he peeked through the door, he saw dozens of people lying on beds, eyes closed, arms stretched out like superheroes ready for action. A sign above read ‘Relaxation Station.’ Confused, he asked one of them what was going on. With a dreamy smile, she replied, 'Oh, you’re here just in time for our weekly “Tan & Nap” special!'

2. At closing time one day, the manager of Sun Tan City looked out the window and saw an unusual sight—a small dog had wandered into their parking lot and was diligently trying to sunbathe on the hot asphalt. The manager laughed and went inside for a minute. When she came back with a towel, the little dog had already found a patch of grass nearby and was happily chewing on a leaf. Turns out, it belonged to a regular customer who often left his pooch outside while he got a tan.

3. At dawn one Sunday, a jogger passing Sun Tan City stopped in surprise. The air was filled with an unfamiliar scent—a sweet, almost tropical aroma that seemed out of place in the quiet neighborhood. Curious, he approached the door and peered inside—only to see dozens of mannequins lazily turning their tans. Startled, he backed away, but then heard a voice from within: ‘Hey buddy, don’t mind us—we’re just waiting for our turn!’ Turned out it was a regular who’d left the UV lamps on overnight. Moral of the story? Never leave Sun Tan City unattended.’

4. At dawn one Sunday, a jogger passing Sun Tan City stopped in surprise. On the parking lot, next to an abandoned umbrella stand, lay a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, the jogger opened it and found only a note reading: ‘Free tanning session today! Just kidding, come back tomorrow.’ Turns out, someone had accidentally left their promotional materials behind.
