The History of Showbiz Pizza & Chuck E. Cheese in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

[@KittyCelestialx]

Very happy this video was recommended to me by the algorithm. I’ve been trying to find a working stage before they got rid of them for good and haven’t even thought about the Milwaukee locations. The store I grew up with is located in Brookfield and they’ve been very up-to-date with their remodels with an exception of the “cool chuck” sign still being displayed

[@Anonymous-ru2vg]

Thanks for using and crediting my videos, I appreciate it 🙏, loved the video! From what I know, the 27th st location is still in tact, after it closed it opened as a blockbuster and now is opened as a paint store so technically it’s still standing today. But info on it is super super limited. Chase was unique since the exterior building is still designed as the old K-mart plaza style it used to have. Sad to see it go, the tech is very friendly and has been working on this stage since it was a PTT from what he told me. Thanks for the upload!

[@ChuckETastic]

Ngl this was a very good and interesting history video but these bots definitely needs some fixing but I’m glad they kept the show room walls as well! Wholesome vid as always Rob! 👍

[@jbponzi1]

I used to frequent Showbiz on 27th St., Chuck E on Chase and the West Allis location. Throughout the 80’s, Chuck E’s kept their shows running well. Chase was a much larger than West Allis. West Allis came first. Both locations had the same shows including the King. Though I recall Chase had another side room. The Cheesy St. was cool. The arcade was huge. The original Brookfield location was on 124th and North and was pretty small. It moved to W. Bluemound Rd, just west of Brookfield Rd.

[@SearsAndPennys1981]

Even though I never got to see them I’ll still miss them, I hope you had a fun time at Milwaukee!

[@AkamexAris1023]

The Wife and I just visited Northridge on Thursday. What a nice store post remodel 💙 Always love the new uploads Rob!!

[@zomburzz]

OMGOMGOMG THIS IS SO CLOSE TO ME IM SO HAPPY YOUR MAKING A VID ABT THIS :D

[@crustysbat]

This is my local Chuck E Cheese :) I’m very sad to see it get remodeled as I’ve been going there since I was a kid and I wanna go one last time before they get rid of the bots. Loved the video!❤️

[@Kkmssjdjdk_offical]

LETS GOOOOO im in also wheres the one in brookfeild/west allis +reminding me of bounce house there was a bounce place behind the chase avenue location

[@ItzaRob]

If it’s not directly in Milwaukee then I didn’t include it.

[@Kkmssjdjdk_offical]

​@@ItzaRoboh ok

[@MichaelBurmy]

Thank you for doing this! It was my childhood CEC before the Racine location opened...

[@seanson24]

Being from that area originally this is a great trip down memory lane. And so much history to learn about it

[@garulouie]

As someone who's always lived in milwaukee, I vaguely remember going once as a kid. That's when I had "the final countdown" vividly burned into my memory

[@Scrunky-jfif]

I'm surprised to see three different locations in one city, but Chase ave. is an awesome looking store, especially to be the ugliest Phase 5 remodel. Awesome video, and the new avatar lools great!

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

the location in Iowa that just closed was one of the ugliest but u guess now it’s this one?

[@ThomasAndTheTankRailway.I.N.C]

This is gonna be great! I also have a question. You might remember my request for Laurel MD to be the topic of one of the later History videos, I just wanted to add the fact that I have info on the bots’s whereabouts, and photos taken a little while before their removal for 2.0.

[@SushiiMp3]

YESSS I BEEN ASKING FOR THIS VIDEO

[@Kissifuss]

3:12 Specifically here, prior to the At Home location, that building housed a Kmart. I am unable to find pictures or videos of the place at all but it was definitely there. I frequently with my family and near the end of the building is the (now unusable) pharmacy entrance

[@ItzaRob]

It did, you can find images of the exterior if you go to the address on Google Maps and take the date back to prior to 2015. I'm unsure if that part of the building was part of the Showbiz Pizza however, and seeing the Bounce Realm's interior look similar to a Showbiz I assumed that part of the building was what used to be Showbiz.

[@Anonymous-ru2vg]

I heard the previous Showbiz on 27th later opened to be a blockbuster on that plaza so the section of the building is still there , being a paint store today

[@tommypines1039]

It's august now- Milwaukee is right down the road - gonna go dumpster diving to take a figure home with me

[@MuhammadAahil_ytp]

Nice video you went there and recorded it so yea also your new look amazing

[@pac-kikin]

If your still able to do history requests again then, can you do Chico CA? Which is home to the last 1988 exterior before it closed.

[@ItzaRob]

I am, but I’m gonna pass for now on Chico.

Great video! Could you cover the Tacoma WA location? Its a really cool store that not many people really talk about

[@ItzaRob]

Maybe.

[@Onecoolfan2006]

(Not Milwaukee but a location an hour or so away from Milwaukee) I went to the Gurnee Chuck E. Cheese & they have a studio c beta (16 movement) but unfortunately it was aired down as well :( Was still cool to see in person though.

[@CECIndianaPolis]

I thought they removed the wink because of the remodel but they removed it because a kid threw a skeeball at it and it cracked their remodel will take place in August 29-September 1

[@christianjames12]

Any hope that the s 27th st location closed in 1984, 1985 or 1986?

[@KingCrazier]

This doesn’t help due to the uncertainty but my dad says he remembers seeing Madame Oink but he doesn’t remember if it was from Chase or West Allis. However, they only went to West Allis a few times and went to Chase far, far more so I assume he’s remembering Chase but I can’t say for certain.

[@fullmetaleevee]

You should do a video about the Milwaukee suburbs (Brookfield and West Allis)

[@TooningIn2008]

This’ll be a nice early birthday present (its next week)

[@mohamedrumi7044]

Every year I would come down to Milwaukee for brewers games and my grandma would sometimes take me to Chuck E. Cheese there

[@NylaaTheNeedleFan]

Finally, my local! Specifically Chase Avenue. Haven’t finished the video yet, but as of now, the bots currently are no longer working, and are statues at the current moment.

[@cjhome3332]

Have you ever done a history on the Augusta GA location?

[@Disventure27463]

The Chase Avenue in Milwaukee WI got the 2.0 it was a phase 4 and a 1 stage that was rare

[@ItzaRob]

It actually had the 2015 Remodel when it got 2.0.

[@fttcec]

27th St WAS LATER A BLOCKBUSTER UNTIL 2004, BECAUSE OF THE EAGLEVIEW. sry for caps i left them on.

[@Fozzytherabbit]

The last location you were talking about should be kept because of the history, and because of the unique essence. I so some new footage it looks to like they got a little fix’s. Even though it is getting removed
