Start a KiwiSun tanning business in your town

Territorial exclusivity, distinctive style and a harmonious environment. Welcome to the world of KiwiSun.

We believe that tanning is much more than a service lasting just a few minutes. The KiwiSun concept was created by Black Care, a tanning equipment manufacturer with several decades of industry experience. Its aim was to develop an outstanding tanning salon concept that delivers exceptional customer experiences and represents an attractive business investment.

The success of our network is built on years of focused development involving advertising psychologists, designers, marketing specialists, engineers and tanning salon owners.

Our goal was to create an environment that transforms the time spent in a tanning salon into genuine relaxation. The interior design of our salons is carefully developed to engage the senses and create a distinctive atmosphere.

A KiwiSun franchise partner benefits from an established reputation, a trusted brand and a proven operating model. Even investors without prior industry experience can start with confidence, because the network centre provides continuous support from planning and launch through to day-to-day operation.

Each KiwiSun salon benefits from territorial exclusivity. Every partner receives a defined geographical area in which no other KiwiSun salon may open, while also benefiting from centralised marketing and network-wide support.

We also provide market research, advertising support, ongoing training and detailed design guidance. Every salon is created according to a comprehensive brand manual to ensure a consistent customer experience and cost-efficient implementation.

KiwiSun provides a complete concept for opening and operating a tanning salon, including branding, operations, computer control and marketing systems, as well as the right to use the KiwiSun trademark.

KiwiSun is already successful in 10 countries

The KiwiSun brand

Through years of focused work, the KiwiSun brand has become associated with an attractive Caribbean tan and a sense of wellbeing in Hungary and internationally. This strong brand recognition represents significant value for both current and future franchise partners.

Territorial exclusivity and protection for every salon

One of the main challenges facing a new independent business is the rapid appearance of nearby competitors offering similar services. This can significantly reduce turnover and increase business risk.

This does not happen within the KiwiSun network. Every franchise partner benefits from territorial exclusivity, which means that no other KiwiSun salon may open within the partner’s designated area.

This is one of the foundations of long-term success. Investors can visit operating salons, understand the business model and make an informed decision. No specialist knowledge or previous industry experience is required, because KiwiSun provides a fully developed and proven concept.

Salon design

We provide comprehensive design assistance for every approved location from the very beginning. Once the floor plan and the exterior and interior visual concepts have been approved, implementation can begin.

Technical design consultancy is an integral part of the KiwiSun success concept. Our detailed thematic manual supports partners throughout the technical planning, interior design and operation of the salon.

The central network team

A dedicated team of experienced professionals stands behind KiwiSun’s domestic and international success. They work continuously to strengthen the market position of every salon in the network.

Franchise partners benefit from expertise and innovation that would be difficult for an independent salon to maintain on its own. The central team supports the operation and continued development of KiwiSun salons throughout the year.

Computerised salon management and IT system

Our proprietary encrypted software helps protect your business. Every machine in a KiwiSun salon is controlled by a central computer system that can be accessed remotely, allowing you to monitor salon turnover from almost anywhere.

The closed system minimises the risk of misuse, fraud or unauthorised access. You can review cash, card and SZÉP card transactions, monitor standard and prepaid tanning sessions, track cosmetic sales and check individual machine operating hours.

KiwiSun is more than a tanning brand

In addition to a wide range of tanning cosmetics, other KiwiSun-branded products contribute to the profitable operation of the salons. Strong customer satisfaction has created significant brand loyalty.

Customers can purchase body lotions, face creams, cleansers, makeup removers, hand creams and KiwiSun Home fragrances. These products maintain the brand experience beyond the salon and encourage customers to return.

The secrets behind our success

We support our partners in every professional area, from planning and construction through to opening and ongoing operation. We provide a complete concept that has been continuously developed and refined for 25 years – the proven KiwiSun formula for success.
