South Beach Tanning Co. Enters Franchise Development Agreement

South Beach Tanning Co. has entered into a franchise development agreement with Art Crider and his franchise development company, Frandeavor, to manage and develop its franchise sales throughout the southeastern United States.

Crider brings more than 37 years of franchise experience—including positions with Fantastic Sam’s and Quizno’s Subs—to the South Beach franchise development and sales department.

Brian Hibbard, president of South Beach, says that the number of franchise inquiries South Beach received in the first 10 weeks of offering franchises was overwhelming.

“It is no longer possible for us to handle the number of inquiries in-house,” he adds. “With the professional management of these inquiries now being handled by Art and his team, it will allow us to continue to focus on our franchisees and their training as they join our system. We believe Art brings unparalleled experience to the table and instantly puts our franchise development on par with any of the national chains out there. Further, the addition of Art and his national chain-franchise development experience brings instant validity to our system and will further accelerate our expansion plans.”
