Regardless of what any of us think about the esthetics of the place, its demise due to the malicious, moronic shutdowns matters a great deal.
Don’t think that only the “cheesey” (sorry about that) places are going under. This is just the tip of the iceberg coming at us.
Thank you China.
I went to a brawl and a kids party broke out.
Ha, the virus isn’t the only thing that caused trouble for ol’ Chuck. Certain groups turned CEC restaurants into war zones.
Yeah, I’ve never been to one, but I’ve spoken with a few parents who have. They say it’s like Lord Of The Flies at a pizza party. The parents (mainly mothers) come home frazzled, and ready for a stiff belt. *chuckle* And almost to a person, they say the pizza sucks - somewhere between a Totino’s and a Tombstone. (Well, Tombstone is edible in a pinch. DiGiorno is better, especially if you doctor it up a little.)
Regardless of the relentless CeC negativity here; this is just another intended economic casualty to eliminate Orange Man Bad no matter the cost.
The Dims/Marxists WILL burn this country down before allowing America as founded to continue to exist.
Sad for the folks about to lose their jobs. We are still in the early stages of the economic fallout from the pandemic. There will be a lot more of this to come. And the service industry is going to take a brutal hit.
In the 80s when I was little my mom wouldn’t let me go to Chuck E Cheese’s. She said it was “dirty”.
Last year, a teenage boy horrified me with pictures from Instagram and Twitter from customers photographing their Chuck E CHeese pizzas to prove that the staff had assembled pizzas out of uneaten slices left on tables. The slices didn’t match. Half a pepperoni slice on one slice, no matching half of pepperoni on the neighboring slice. Some slices cut at odd angles, shoved into formation which distorted the round shape. The horror is real.
For those who believe Covid-19 is our generations bubonic plague, I don’t see people wanting to take the family there. Those who think Covid is overblown, STILL don’t want to eat recycled pizza.
I’ve had their pizza and this is no big loss.
Showbiz was better. Better pizza and an animatronic band. Chuck E. had the bigger (noisier) play area—and either they bought out or outlasted Showbiz.
Finally some good news in this whole disaster
The government with his stupid totalitarian mandates are complete assholes
Hands, mouths, shoes, socks, dirty clothes, and more in the ball pit.
Bad Pizza or not, who would have thought that forcing businesses to close for months would have disastrous effects?
I remember going to the Cheesie Chucker’s in Waldorf, MD a couple of times for my kid’s birthday parties in the 90’s. They had some fun there, but quickly out grew going to it for their birthdays.
This is great news. This company was clearly ‘woke’ and should suffer the consequences of its corporate decisions.

NOOO! where will all the family feuds occur?
Poor Barack...he’ll have to find another location for his birthday parties.
