About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Tropical Tan and asked the manager, ‘Why do you keep getting boxes of coconuts?’ The manager smiled and replied, 'Ah, those aren't coconuts—those are our new customers! They come in every day for our tropical tanning sessions.' The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, realizing he’d been had by a clever marketing gimmick.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Tropical Tan and announced over the intercom: 'Attention everyone—we’re now officially the most tropical place in town!' Everyone looked around suspiciously, but nothing seemed different. Then a delivery driver walked up and asked if he could get his usual coconut water. The old man replied, ‘Of course you can! And it’s on us today—because we’re the most tropical!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that being tropical meant enjoying life’s little pleasures together.
3. One afternoon, while customers were relaxing in their chairs at Tropical Tan, a faint humming sound began drifting through the air. At first, nobody noticed—it sounded like bees from a distant apiary. But soon enough, the hum grew louder, attracting curious glances until someone realized it came from inside one of the tanning beds. As everyone watched, a small green lizard emerged from the bed, its little tongue flickering as it surveyed the room. The technician burst out laughing and explained that it was just a local reptilian visitor who liked sunbathing too much. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Tropical Tan, they’d wink and say, ‘Oh, you mean where the little green friend hangs out?’
4. One morning, as customers were getting ready for their daily treatments at Tropical Tan, someone noticed something peculiar on the parking lot. Among the usual cars stood a bright yellow bicycle with no rider in sight. Curiosity got the better of them, and soon the whole salon was outside trying to figure out who owned it. Turns out, it belonged to a delivery driver who had left it there after an early-morning run. Everyone had such a good laugh that they decided to nickname him ‘Yellow Bike Guy’—now everyone knows him around these parts.
