    A couple notes: Firstly, in the first Monfort location, I miscredited Showbizpizzacom for the 1988 footage when it was @williamsriveroarchive258 who should have been credited. I also forgot to mention what happened to the second Monfort's Studio C Chuck. It was sent to a location in Port Orange, Florida after it was removed and stayed there until 2023, when it survived Hurricane Ian and still was destroyed since the location will supposedly be reopening as a 2.0 in November of 2023.

      Another thing you didn't mention is that There is a pizza time theatre on 15203 Knoll trail Dr. store 125 opened in 1981 and in 1984 the location closed and today it is now a City Salon Suites and spa
      Edit: I forgot to mention about another Pizza time theatre on Dallas texas at 2905 Forest Ln which opened in 1981 and closed in 1984 and today where the pizza time theatre is located is now one of theese businesses. there's even a Pizza time theatre at 11411 Northwest Highway which opened in 1982 and closed in 1984 and its now replaced with one of the businesses
      and the Pizza time theatre on S I-35 E which opened in 1982 and it closed on 1984 the building will be demolished for something else

Would love to see a video on the history of the CEC locations in Paramus, New Jersey, which is the one I grew up with and the one my little cousins went to when they relocated across the highway.

    Breaking news! We now know from a video by Chuck E. Entertainment that the first Monfort location had the extremely rare Prototype Concept Unification Stage! They likely had it in either 1988 or 1989 because the showtape in the background, The Tune Machine, played around those times.

    to answer your question about the first version of phase 4's art, it included the records or whatever art was in the show room pre remodel and framed versions of phase 3 art in white picture frames like the big city poster card, and the chef art on the wall you questioned about

    • @ItzaRob

      That's interesting! I guess it makes sense that they mostly reused art for the first version since at that point it was probably in the testing phase. Still cool to know nonetheless.

    10:38 that article is probably being biased or being paid to do that. My teacher told me billy bob and fatz were his favorite characters because how funny and sweet they were. Like many other people, my teacher became very sad about the concept unification, and 11:56 walkaround I thought that was only corporate! I never seen that walkaround in stores and I only seen it in showtapes. and cool location! funny how some stuff was used only at this location. They should've used the old location in the second location you were talking about studio C bot to the remodeled location.
