In the 80s Tom upgraded locations and moved from his activity kiosk to a much larger store. Here on Front Street, Tom Barefoots Tours grew and it was not too long before there were so many return clients calling back that he had to open a second location just to deal with all the phone calls that were coming in.
During this period Tom Barefoots Tours hired many employees that are still working with him to this day. As the eighties passed by Toms company grew, and so did his family. In 1984 his son Jake Barefoot was born. Jake grew up in the shop and no one was surprised when he started officially working there when he was 15 years old.
