Eastend is a tanning-centered local service hub at 818 Coshocton Ave in Mt Vernon, Ohio. Since 1998, indoor tanning has been our primary service and the reason most customers discover us. Over the years, we've added complementary services—coin laundry with free drying, Fizze bubble tea drinks, Fast Nails, and 818 Food Truck Stop—so our tanning customers can combine self-care and errands in a single visit. This isn't a gym with tanning as an afterthought. This is a tanning studio with smart additions that make your visit more convenient.
Why is Eastend known for tanning?
Tanning is what we do best. It's our anchor service, our specialty, and the main reason customers find us. We operate 6 professional-grade tanning beds, including the 40,740-watt Matrix—the most powerful tanning bed in Knox County. Our staff is trained specifically in skin type analysis, bed selection, and tanning optimization. We've perfected indoor tanning over 26 years, serving everyone from first-timers preparing for weddings to experienced tanners maintaining their year-round glow. When people search for 'best tanning salon near me' in Mt Vernon, they find Eastend because tanning is our core identity.
What other services does Eastend offer?
While tanning is our primary service, we've intentionally added complementary services that make sense for our customers: EASTEND LAUNDRY offers coin-operated washers with FREE drying every day—the only laundromat in Mt Vernon with this deal. Many customers start their laundry, tan during the wash cycle, then return to fold. FIZZE DRINKS serves 52+ flavors of fresh bubble tea, milk tea, and smoothies—perfect for post-tanning refreshment. FAST NAILS provides quick, affordable manicures and pedicures—add a 20-minute manicure while your laundry dries. 818 FOOD TRUCK STOP connects Knox County with local food trucks and our own 818 EATS African cuisine delivery. These services exist because our tanning customers asked for them. They're designed to work together, turning Eastend into a one-stop destination for self-care and errands.
How do customers typically use Eastend?
The most common pattern: arrive, start a load of laundry, tan during the wash cycle (sessions are 10-20 minutes), grab a bubble tea, then fold your dry clothes (dryers are free). What would be three separate trips—laundromat, tanning salon, drink shop—becomes one efficient, enjoyable visit. Other customers come purely for tanning and discover the convenience of the other services. Some come for laundry and discover tanning. The complementary services create a hub where different needs overlap, but tanning remains the anchor that defines who we are.
Who comes to Eastend for tanning?
Our tanning customers include: people preparing for weddings, vacations, proms, and special events who want a base tan; maintenance tanners who visit weekly to keep their glow year-round; seasonal tanners who come during Ohio's darker months for vitamin D and mood benefits (we have many customers who tan specifically for SAD relief); first-time tanners who've never used a tanning bed and need guidance on skin types and bed selection; experienced tanners who know exactly what they want and trust our professional-grade equipment. Tanning is for anyone who wants to look and feel their best, and we serve all experience levels.
