Company Details

Legally Tan was founded by Meredith McBee, whose entrepreneurial journey began while she was still in college, working and managing part-time at her local tanning salon. After earning her law degree and pursuing a career in the oil and gas industry, Meredith was offered the opportunity to purchase the very salon where her career started. Instead of simply taking over, she saw a chance to create something even better.

In 2015, Meredith officially launched Legally Tan, establishing it as a high-end tanning salon known for exceptional customer service. Since then, the brand has grown steadily, earning a loyal following. With a proven business model in hand, Meredith decided in 2023 to expand the opportunity to others by franchising the Legally Tan brand.

Headquartered in Midland, Texas-where everything is bigger and better-Legally Tan awarded its first franchise in late 2024 in Oxford, Mississippi, marking the start of an exciting new chapter.
