European Tanning

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the European Tanning parking lot—a small wooden crate labeled ‘Free Samples’ but containing nothing but old newspapers and dust. Curious, he opened it carefully only to find an old newspaper article about a local festival from ten years ago. Shrugging it off as a prank, he drove away. Later that day, while applying his new tan, a regular customer exclaimed, 'Hey, I recognize this place! Isn’t this where they found last year’s missing calendar?' Everyone laughed, and the mystery of the mysterious crate remained just another funny story for the salon.

2. A regular customer entered the European Tanning salon one afternoon and announced loudly, 'I feel like I’m glowing from the inside!' The receptionist smiled politely but wondered if he’d accidentally left his tanning bed on. The receptionist discreetly checked the tanning beds, but everything was off. Moments later, a delivery driver walked in, complaining about how ‘bright’ the sun was today. Turns out, it was just an unusually clear day. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee after work.

3. A curious neighbor walked their dog past the European Tanning entrance one evening and spotted an unusual sight—an old suitcase left behind, half-hidden among the plants. Curious, they approached closer and saw through the glass door a man inside, vigorously massaging another suitcase with lotion. Turns out it was just a regular employee preparing for tomorrow’s tanning session theme: ‘Suitcase Safari’.

4. A little girl followed her mom into the European Tanning waiting area, mesmerized by the strange smell of sunscreen and skincare products. As she sat down on the bench, she pointed excitedly at the large poster above them and whispered, ‘Mommy, why does that tanning bed look like it’s smiling back at us?’ Their mom smiled and said softly, ‘Honey, those beds don’t smile; they just make people feel good.’ Just then, an older gentleman walked in, wearing a big fake tan and a broad smile, nodding knowingly at the little girl. She giggled and replied, ‘Maybe he IS the smiling tanning bed!’
