About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet afternoon at Northfield Tanning Centre when a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, the air seemed to hum with something more than usual—an almost palpable tension. The delivery driver opened the box and pulled out a giant inflatable banana. Everyone stared in confusion until his neighbor walked in, saw it, and started laughing uncontrollably. It turned out he’d ordered it for her birthday party that evening. The whole place erupted into laughter, and soon enough, everyone was posing for photos with the banana. That day, Northfield Tanning Centre became known as the place where even tan lines got a little bit funnier.

2. It was an ordinary morning at Northfield Tanning Centre when a delivery driver arrived with a peculiar package. As he opened the van’s door, a strange, sweet scent wafted through the air, catching everyone’s attention. As it turned out, the package contained nothing more sinister than a batch of free samples for their latest skincare line—scented candles that had accidentally been shipped instead of ordered. The entire staff spent the rest of the day laughing about how they almost called in the hazmat team over some perfumed wax. A regular customer even joked, ‘Maybe now our tanning beds smell nice enough to book!’

3. It was a typical Saturday morning at Northfield Tanning Centre when a delivery driver brought in a new UV lamp. As he unpacked it, a small dog that had been sniffing around suddenly jumped back with a yelp, its fur standing on end. As the delivery driver looked closer, he saw that the UV lamp was labeled ‘Caution: May cause sunburns’. The little dog, now wagging his tail, seemed more curious than scared. A regular customer walking by asked, 'Hey, what’s going on here?' and received an answer he’ll never forget.

4. It was a typical Thursday morning at Northfield Tanning Centre when a delivery driver pulled up with a fresh batch of UV bulbs. As he approached the door, he noticed a familiar figure inside, hunched over and muttering something under their breath. The delivery driver paused for a moment, then cleared his throat loudly. The figure straightened up, startled, revealing an elderly man in a t-shirt reading 'I Heart My Tanning Bed'. They both burst out laughing, realizing they’d been sharing the same joke all along. ‘Same time next week?’ asked the old man, winking. The delivery driver nodded, already looking forward to it.
