Then-East Chicago Fire Department Paramedic Randy Anderson opened Safari Beach on 45th Avenue in Munster in the early 1980s and it quickly became a destination for those seeking a more bronze hue. The tanning salon took off so much he was able to quit his job and work full-time as a business owner. It started as a side project and blew up from there, Anderson said.
