At least since 1959 or 1960
We've been here since 1948. Celebrating 70 years this year.
I moved to the area in 1962 and it had been there for years.
I've been going there for 2 years now.... And they were established before then.
Long time
From one of Eastside Big Tom's Facebook posts from October 19, 2017: "Here's the lady that started it all, Millie Eagan. Did you know that she worked for the better part of a year creating Goop, just 300 yards from where Eastside Big Tom is located, back in 1947-1948? Her and her family lived right next door to what is now Capital City Stove, across the street from where they would open Washington State's first drive-thru restaurant in 1948. The building that we now occupy is the second on the grounds. My parents, Chuck and Mary Fritsch, bought the old building in 1969, replaced it with the building that's there today, changed the name to Eastside Big Tom , and the rest, as they say, is history. You know, in case you ever wondered. :) Thanks for reading this far. One more reason to love you all: you read every word I write, no matter how silly. 😜 Love, Michael"
I believe 1960
They told me over 60 years
