In December of 1948, The Shuffleboard at 3805 So G Street was Tacoma's newest family restaurant. Its food and activities promised a fun filled outing for everyone. They had a birch wood snack bar featuring refreshments, soft drinks, ice creams, and other confections. Shuffleboard instructors were on hand, and prizes were awarded every night. They advertised "Leagues Now Being Formed --- No Intoxicating Beverages Sold." The Shuffleboard opened on December 10, 1948. It was built by Marvin Hawley and operated by Jack Treskes.
