Member of the Month Turned Tribulations into Treasure

Monday, March 14th, 2016

Golden Booty Tanning Resort is no stranger to adversity. From the beginning, they have overcome tragedy, trials and tribulations not for the weak of heart, but they haven’t let it impede their love for their business. When Kim Gomes’ daughter, Eden Clark, tragically lost her husband in Operation Iraqi Freedom, she moved home with her young son to be with her mother. Both Gomes and Clark were interested in finding a new careers that would allow them to be their own boss and control their work hours.

“I was looking for something where I could work for myself. After working in retail, I was tired of working for others and getting looked over for promotions. It wasn’t getting me anywhere. My daughter moved in with me after her husband passed away and mentioned opening up a tanning salon together. We went to a neighboring town’s salon and the owner mentioned there was a salon nearby for sale, so we bought it,” says Gomes.

The original name of the salon they purchased was too wordy and sounded like on big tongue twister. After much thought, she decided to incorporate her son-in-law’s memory and her grandson’s interests in their new salon name.
