Big Zipper
Three patties and three slices of cheese with the classic set of ketchup, mustard, pickles, mayo, lettuce and tomato. No ham, no bacon, just a lot of cheeseburger. The one that carries the chain’s name.

About Zip's Drive-In
Robert “Zip” Zuber opened the first Zip’s in Kennewick, Washington, in 1953, feeding the scientists and workers pouring into the Tri-Cities for jobs at the Hanford nuclear site. The motto was “Thrift and Swift”. A second restaurant near Gonzaga in Spokane became a student favourite, and the chain spread across the Inland Northwest.
About 40 restaurants in eastern Washington and northern Idaho, none of them franchised.
