Although this is slightly old news, it appears that Le Sole tanning is closed. The tanning shop at 1130 S. Wabash was a snazzy little place that absorbed the Elements of Style boutique that was next door (which is now Computer Gurus). Both are now gone as far as we know.We assume that the Trader Joe's will bring some other tenants to this stretch but who knows since there has been a decent amount of turnover in this building.

Perhaps a victim of Obama Health Care with increased taxes on tanning salon. The South Loop would like to thank our President Obama.
ReplyDeleteRemoving the tanning tax "would cost the government millions". ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat am I supposed to do with my Groupon?
ReplyDeleteIt seems as if Marble Slab on Michigan Ave. closed as well...it's been dark there for a couple of weeks now
ReplyDelete"Obama Health Care"?
ReplyDeleteWhy not just blame the Tooth Fairy?
I think GW Bush is to blame for offering easy credit to a flimsy business that never should have been started in the first place
So this means that John Boner, "the Human Cheetoh", now has one less place he can visit each day before his daily weepy cry.
ReplyDeleteI’m all for small business in the sloop, but tanning is a waste of everything. Glad to see it go!
