About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Electric Rays Tanning, customers kept noticing something strange: whenever a delivery driver parked their truck near the entrance, the neon sign would flicker and change colors. Was it just coincidence—or did those rays have minds of their own? Finally, one curious customer asked the owner if he’d ever noticed anything odd. With a smile, the owner replied, ‘Oh yes, I’ve seen it too—but don’t worry, they’re just old electric rays trying to relax after work.’

2. At Electric Rays Tanning, a regular noticed something odd one morning. While waiting for his turn in the booth, he spotted an unusual package on the reception desk. Curious, he asked the attendant what it was. ‘Oh,’ she shrugged, ‘just some new promotional material from our supplier.’ But when he looked closer, there was no logo or label—only a mysterious note reading: “Try us once, and you’ll never tan anywhere else!” Soon enough, another customer—a delivery driver—brought in a box with similar packaging but this time containing only sunscreen. When questioned, the attendant smiled mysteriously, replying, 'Just our latest promotion!' Turns out, Electric Rays Tanning had started giving away free sunscreen samples instead of actual tans.

3. At Electric Rays Tanning, every afternoon around closing time, a soft humming sound could be heard coming from the ceiling fans—until one day it started on its own, long before anyone turned them on. One evening, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked if he could turn off the noise. Turns out, his hearing aid was picking up the fan’s low buzz as if it were a phone ringing. Since then, everyone jokes that Electric Rays Tanning has the best customer service—even for people who don’t tan.

4. At Electric Rays Tanning, a sign on the door caught everyone’s eye: ‘Caution—tanning rays may cause temporary sunburn on car paint.’ A regular laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll be back tomorrow!’ A few days later, an annoyed voice came from inside: ‘Hey, did you guys forget to turn off the tanning bed again?’ Out stepped a delivery driver with a bright orange box wrapped in bubble wrap. Turns out, the UV rays had given his van a free bronzing session.
