The Durham location looks like it’s in amazing shape! It’s also weird to see a stage set in such an odd corner of the store

[@cecroadshows6449]

I haven’t been to the Durham NC store in almost 10 years. I really wanna head back.

[@RetroPizzaFan]

The “pizza oven” next to Pasqually is Pizzacam’s speaker box. Richmond removed their Pizzacam in 2017 briefly after it was restored with new cosmetics.

[@liamthoralexanderspencer4684]

No! The cec in Virginia was the only one I’ve ever been to and i loved that camera!

[@alancoleson5576]

Imagine an alternate timeline where Showbiz pizza still existed... There would be a whole bunch of old, badly maintained Rock-afires out there with plastic masks (I dread to think how they would look for all the band members!)

[@ChuckCentral]

Durham, NC is one of my favorite locations!! Thank you for this video!

[@saan1ty]

Thanks for visiting my local Durham. I need to get there soon before they renovate

[@simplyretro9887]

You should go to the Tallahassee FL Location which also has a 3 stage … they are in rough shape but it’s the last 3 stage location with showroom walls and dim lighting, and also they are remodeling soon

[@RyeRye29]

Richmond stage is actually supposed to be getting a mini overhaul on them! I'm 100% sure if it's true but that's what I've been told!

[@CECPACIFIC]

@Riley Paulson yeah probably but it starts 12/30/22

[@jasburger]

Richmond is getting 2.0

[@RyeRye29]

[@noahrbxt9246]

@@RyeRye29 how about you stop making rumors about stores outside of georgia for once.

[@maxkazlo3559]

this is the best Mr Munch animatronic I have ever seen! in Durham,

[@S.J.C._Entertainment]

Never realized how tiny Durham was haha

[@TheJerseyMouse]

i really love the durham location! it’s really under appreciated

[@TheOfficialReDigitalized]

It really is!

[@Ramsfan555]

You are correct if only every location was like his and they didn’t think they had to change things

[@tailsfan628]

I wish you could've seen my local one stage in Poughkeepsie NY before it got 2.0 in October. It was in great condition.

[@aidanlife9751]

the Deptford NJ 1 stage is in almost 100% condition the only problems are jasper's arm movements and some other eye movements

[@TheOfficialReDigitalized]

True

[@under_yt6425]

Durham and The original lancaster ca has a similar Layout *showroom, Richmond never opened as a showbiz it opened as a chuck e cheese and a few years ago latex pizza cam was removed, also tallahassee fl never opened as a showbiz pizza the stage is similar to richmonds, but tallahasse is a phase 3 ish, but it hasn’t remodeled yet, they were apparently supposed to get it last summer

[@armed_patriot]

1:19 the one in Cherry Hill, NJ hs a munch like this with the hat on

[@TheOfficialReDigitalized]

Your content is AMAZING, I started getting desperate waiting for your videos because I love them!

[@SetsStreetsEats]

Aww, thank you so much!

[@retrolovetro]

I live in the wilmington area in NC and unfortunately they closed our location i believe around 2 years ago. I’m originally from Long Island NY from a town in west islip. Not sure if my childhood location is still open or not. I’m fortunate enough to have VHS tapes of my 5th bday in 1995 there!

[@LamarF3865]

I was just at the Richmond stage today and they were currently painting the exterior of the building for 2.0. All old Chuck E pictures/posters have been taken down and paint as well with the floor has being mapped out for the new designing. The animatronics are no longer functioning but lights and spotlights still work (expect the disco ball.) The top of the curtains have been ripped off too. They are starting to use the dance floor videos with Chuck E near the entrance.

[@The-Backpack46]

I hate the 2.0 I say im going to put a hammer though the dance floor!

[@nicholaskania9106]

Darien IL has a unique 3 stage that just has a Studio C Beta bot put onto it as a result of their Creative Engineering bots being destroyed by Mac valve water leaks. Curtains from West DesMoines covers stage left and right. You’ve got to visit it. They’ve also got a similar stage with a studio c beta in Chicago Kedzie with notable differences that you should also visit. It’s so unique

[@h8deejay2]

I went to the one in Richmond all the time as a kid, happy to so you covering it

[@CECWashingtonTheCECFan]

Cool!

[@firewolfeena_theanimallover]

I went to the NC location in 2021 with my sis my goal for that year was seeing the animatronics in person I was so excited to be able see them I hadn't seen any other animatronics except for one single Chuck E animatronic at my local mall unfortunately that location is gone but it was my favorite place to go play arcade games and see the animatronic Edit: I went there yesterday and they still have their animatronics in 2023 I was super happy to see them again and the art work is so cool

[@thefools]

You can definitely tell the different body proportions. chuckie's long arms like Rolfe.

[@willsworld5643]

My sister went their for her birthday in 2006

[@epicboyo4883]

Awesome, Richmond is the one I always go to!

[@Lilbot_GT]

One day you should go to the Pearl city location

[@keepingitreal71]

So sad that these are going away.... I miss my 3 stage...

[@masterhangers4817]

You should check out the CEC in Darien, IL. It has a very unique three stage/ Studio C hybrid stage

[@SetsStreetsEats]

I'm planning on it!

[@ComfortsSpecter]

What a vibe

[@theforest8882]

Nice

[@BakerFamily123]

You should check out my local (Atlantic blvd Jacksonville FL) they have a Studio C Alpha that is messed up the lights are going during intermission when they aren't supposed to Also check out West Melbourne FL, they have a Galaxy Stage

[@brettmartin8372]

Chris did they say how much longer it has? I Need to go by before they are shut down. Thanks for coming here!

[@gabrielfkenny]

Richmond has until January if i'm correct

[@brettmartin8372]

Thank you sir..coming up fast

[@Footballer007-lz8pg]

Always sad watching one of these knowing the particular store is now a 2.0

[@MorganUmbra]

There’s another cec in Richmond on broad street, I don’t think I’ve ever been to the location shown here!

[@ConnorTerrell]

Passed it all the time when I taught at Sam Ash. Almost went there!

[@Sieuhdnsuwyr]

Chuck e cheese needs a animatronic upgrade. Rock afire explosion got more realism

[@kingmariobros9201]

I HAVE BEEN HERE

[@thehunterator520]

The Richmond one makes me feel sad because this was my location I went to as a kid and seeing them in such poor shape just feels like a gut punch, but the main issue is money because they are expensive to maintain. I don't remember if the eye winked or not, but that's because i haven't been there since around 2009 when I was around 7 and paid more attention to the animatronics and games than a sign at the top of the stage.

[@thehunterator520]

also apparently this was the last showbiz location opened in may of 1990 according to google

[@fluffy5302]

This is so funny to me because i moved from Md to Sc and never knew any of theses places was right next to me😂

[@dedsecpetrikov]

ME TOO LOLLLL i moved back recently though, it’s a shame most of these stages are gone now :(

[@simonsays365]

richmond is on the 2.0 list

[@Frozendragon1990]

I Remember Passing By This Location In My Trip To Richmond In November 2021. I REALLY Wanted To Go Inside But My Brother Is Too Crazy About Chuck E Cheese So We Did Not Go... I Could Have Saw The Three Stage! Now I Could Not Visit It Because It Got 2.0...

[@Jayden129]

See that jasper and pasquality swap shoes 1:29

[@willsworld5643]

I’ve been there for my birthday

[@einheit02]

I have been to the RVA CEC!

[@chuckecheese9261]

Nice video

[@animatronicsfan1092]

Getting rid of moon building and pizzacam was super recent, they all got removed in 2018

[@allisoncurty650]

Did you hear that the Chuck E. Cheese on Pineville-Matthews Road in Charlotte, North Carolina has received the 2.0 and got to keep their 3-stage? You need to return to that location to make a video!

[@SetsStreetsEats]

@allisoncurty650 of course and I did. 2 weeks ago 👍

[@ChuckE.Cheeseshows]

Sadly it’s in the process of slowly getting 2.0 and they should be done by mid-late September 😢

[@kidmagineer]

The 1 stage is so tiny!

[@jasonbarrkingdice353]

Im so sad they are taking away the animatronics. I dont get it. Every one loves the animatronics

[@simonsays365]

pizza cam was restored in 2017 and he was then removed

[@CECEntertainment3358]

PIZZA CAM IS GONE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Skymakescrafts]

the whole richmond stage is gone lmao. really sucks tho

[@alexwilliams1159]

Noooooo 😢

[@jaxsonfriends5406]

Chuck E. Cheese the Richmond location the pizza oven was pizza cams box

[@user-kq5hi7dc9v]

I live in Virginia lol

[@CyberstarChuck]

One question I have is what time do you go to these Chuck E. Cheese when like no one is there? It must be early.

[@SetsStreetsEats]

I go all different times but I try to go earlier in the day for sure.

[@Cecnorthernohio]

Are you goi g to go to any ohio cecs

[@AntherFoxx]

Just thought you might find it interesting, the "proper" name for the character's inside skeleton is a "mech" which you called an exoskeleton, and the costume is their cosmetics, so you could say "really good cosmetic condition" you're practically becoming an expert 😂

[@SetsStreetsEats]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Quit3Cut3]

Actually it’s endoskeleton

[@dedsecpetrikov]

@@Quit3Cut3 no, that’s a term made up by scott cawthon for the fnaf animatronics. they’re not actually called endoskeletons.

[@whome9111]

Lucky you weren't at the Richmond location during business hours, very sketchy clientele.
