Exploring An Abandoned Chuck E. Cheese In Texas

[@Melatonia3862]

This was my Chuck E Cheese! Located in White Settlement. When I was a child, it was a Showbiz Pizza. There was a Toys R Us next door. Would go here every birthday, and than Toys R Us afterwards to spend my birthday money. Been here hundreds of times. All my nieces and nephews had their birthday parties here as well. A shame it’s no more

[@jeremyarant]

I just quit my job of 25 years with them. I was a part of the team that closed these locations. Most of the time we were only given 24 hours to clear everything that was reusable at another nearby location and abandon everything else. I was a tech. I spent 25 years keeping these stores running. The show, kitchen, gameroom, and cash areas working. To see it all torn down and discarded broke my heart. I lost a part of my soul doing these shutdowns and I'm glad I took the chance to move on. Your vid gives me a bit of closure about it though. Thanks.

Nerd here. So from what I can see most of the vandalism is mostly where the counter was and parts of the kitchen. All the arcade games and anything else in the store was smashed up and destroyed when it closed back in June. The spray paint most likely is from Corp after it closed to "de-brand" items in the restaurant. I've heard stories from other store closings of flooding the kitchen or damaging the property.

[@ForkLiftCertified]

From the looks of it, they are probably going to tear this building down. I don’t think it was vandalized at all. Just the franchise owner or corporate got everything that was useful or valuable out and did it fast. It’s listed for sale but I noticed in the video the electrical panels are completely gutted, the games in this place are old, damaged. I seen the ticket munchers in the back look like they been cannibalize since they only use E-tickets now, no point in moving them to another location, they just leave the junk/ trash in that building and have the demolition contractors toss it when the building comes down.

I did competitive programming at Lockheed from 2017-19 when I was in HS and our teams stayed at the Comfort Inn right across the street. Never went in, but from the entrance we were able to look out all the way down the parking lot to see this place open, and with barely any cars there. I remember there was some place called the "Flight Deck" entertainment center right next to the hotel, along with Toys R Us. Six years later, all three of those are closed and have been replaced by much more boring and industrial businesses. It's probably for the best that they're not abandoned anymore, though. It's better than them being vandalized like we see in this video. I have no memories with CEC because my childhood was spent at Gatti's and Incredible Pizza Co, but it is disappointing to see not just how these places look when closed but what the ones that are still open have become - bland and lifeless, and lacking much of what originally made them special because of the constant race to the bottom when it comes to costs. They are pretty much kids' casinos instead of lifestyle spaces and places to compete on actual games. Round1 is the only chain left that I think still captures some of that. It's the only place where I think I could spend 12+ hours straight on $100 in credit.

One was appliances and large items, other was fashions and smaller items with at first over 2000 pieces per truck. Black Friday sales the store I was at would have two appliance trucks arrive at same time a few diff times. One full and other up too half full with with huge part being customer orders on first one. Got too the the point when I walked (some knew I was pissed and burnt for final time) the main truck was barely a quarter of the trailer. It was that sad as store always had good foot traffic. Even though air conditioning broke down a lot (on back up system as main systems compressor was long seized up) and heat did not work right either. Also had internal flood year before I left due too burst water main

Thank you for being so respectful of these places. I know it can seem tempting to want to take something. Maybe as a souvenir. But these things need to stay where they lie. Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints, the greatest of sayings for urban exploring.

[@liam-man7265]

I wonder if the vandals stole most of the arcade games here.

[@KC8EWU]

The ones left would have been broken more then likely and unable too be sent back. Sad as someone handy possibly could have fixed them.

They take the equipment to corporate headquarters to use at other locations stuff not woth using gets scrapped.

@@luigiplushbros7140 I absolutely loved the animatronics at Chuck E. Cheese’s. I even remember the time when I would step on the stage, dance with them, and touch them, then my mom would get furious at my decision making, lmao! 😂

For anyone wondering, this is the White Settlement, TX (7750 Scott St) location. They opened on December 29, 1982, as a ShowBiz Pizza Place. They closed in 1985 and reopened as a Pizza Time Theatre on August 6, 1987, in the same building with a Rocker Stage. In March of 1992, they were the first location to ever receive the 2-Stage. They closed on June 25, 2020, due to Covid-19.

[@The_Original_Alex_Channel]

Thanks!

[@MetallicaFanSandman]

You have any photos or videos when it was Showbiz Pizza Place with the RAE?

[@KeithPlaysPS4927]

Wow Interesting video Wallie!! I never knew it closed due to the pandemic, but I also knew it had bankruptcy. I enjoyed going to Chuck E Cheese when I was a kid. I even remember going to the ticket counter and it counted all of the tickets I received. My favorite arcade game was likely ski ball. The nearest one to Hermitage,PA was Niles, Ohio near the Eastwood Mall near the former Super Kmart.

I never knew there were locations that were as small as this one. I grew up going to the one in burnaby BC and that place is huge. Multiple levels, party rooms all over the place and alot of space and machines. I suppose they just got lucky and found a good spot to open a location. I'm still shocked at how many places I grew up going to have been shut down permanently due to covid

When our Toys R Us shut down last year, I about cried. I wish I could have went back one last final time before it looks like this. it looked like a time capsule even before they shut down. They never changed it since it was built! I had so many memories buying sailor moon and pokemon toys. Watching Harry Potter on a little tv in there when the movie was just released on VHS. Being so excited to see there new toys are us exclusive toys. Last time I went there the memories just flooded back. It defiantly was super smaller compared to how I remembered it. Looked so big when I was little. Thanks for this. Chuck E. Cheese defiantly hits so close to home. Sad to see this pandemic take so many amazing businesses. All my favorite restaurants shut down this year unfortunately

That is a fact. I’m only 17 but I have seen my childhood slowly dissolve. Toys R Us is gone, shopping malls are closing and dying around the country, politics has taken hold in everyone’s lives, Chuck E Cheese is gone, Pizza Hut is gone, Sears is gone, RadioShack is gone, JCPenney is dying, Macy’s is dying, and finally America as we knew it is dying. It seems as if normal life is long gone.
