1947 年 11 月 22 日，星期六，一家名叫“丘比和塔比” (Chubby & Tubby) 的战争剩余物资商店在西雅图盛大开业，商店位于雷尼尔南大街 (Rainier Avenue S) 3333 号。这家商店起初在西雅图雷尼尔瓦利 (Rainier Valley) 社区的一个街角店面（Signal 加气站旧址）经营军用金属活动房屋，到开始经营新业务时已经运作大概五周。但是，在公司正式运作之前，两个胖胖的老板 – 伍德洛（"伍迪"）"塔比"奥格（1989年逝世）和欧文"丘比"法莱斯（1997年逝世）– 似乎仍然在组织管理方面存在需要消除的分歧。事实上，这家公司开业的前五周就已经称作“塔比和丘比”。
