'Sunset Tan' opens in the South Bay By Muhammed El-Hasan Staff Writer

LA Sunset Tan's first weekend of business in Redondo Beach drew clients seeking a celebrity air as well as a bronze look.

The Beverly Hills-based tanning salon chain with its own reality TV show officially opened its Redondo Beach store Friday.

"On Sunday, it was crazy here," said Tony Trutanich Jr., who owns the store at 1020 S. Pacific Coast Highway, near Avenue B.

Two days earlier, valet parking, a red carpet entrance, blaring music and perfectly sculpted bronze bodies ushered Friday's opening of the South Bay's newest tanning salon.

A camera crew taped scenes of the opening for an upcoming episode of "Sunset Tan," a show on the E! Entertainment channel featuring the business and its gorgeous employees and clientele.

"I don't know anyone who throws a grand opening like this," said Trutanich, who noted the "glitz and glam" attached to the event.
