In the 70's, Tommy began breaking new ground; the opening of new
locations. During this decade, five new Tommy's opened. Though
not as popular as the Original Stand, each became very successful
in its own right.
Today there are twenty seven locations.
They are located in L.A., North Hills, Eagle Rock, Burbank, Tujunga,
Fountain Valley, Van Nuys, Rowland Heights, Long Beach, Pico Rivera,
Huntington Park, La Habra, Westminster, Canoga Park, Norwalk, Santa Monica,
Hollywood, North Hollywood, Monrovia, Barstow, Universal City Walk,
Chino, Simi Valley, Valencia, Corona, El Monte and Pasadena.
These locations serve over 80,000 customers a week,
and average over million dollars annually apiece in sales.
The Original location serves over 15,000 customers a week
alone. All the Tommy's locations are owned and operated
by the Tommy's organization. There are no franchised units.
General Office: 517 EAST WILSON AVENUE … SUITE 104 GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA 91206 PHONE: (818) 240-0019 FAX: (818) 240-2919 One particular problem for Tommy's over the years, has been protecting the name. Many profit-hungry imitators have copied key elements of the operation, trying to cash in on the original's fame. Unfortunately, by copying the sign and menu, some customers have been confused at one time or another. This issue has been the subject of many legal battles. Today, customers are instructed to "look for the shack" on the Tommy's logo. "Many imitate, but none can compare!" |
