    This is a store I’ve been waiting to see get covered, it’s nice to see even up to the time of the store’s 2.0 remodel, the bots remained in good shape.

    One thing about Greensboro's history, when you mentioned Greensboro wanting to expand into the space next door, Catherine's went out of business during COVID. However, CEC still couldn't expand, either due to having pay more to for the extra area or the shopping center not wanting CEC taking up more store space. But it turns out that a beauty salon two doors down from CEC ended up putting more money to expand into the space that CEC wanted.
    One of Greensboro's managers told me that back in 2017, CEC even tried to move out of their space to a free-standing building on the other side of their parking lot when a restaurant closed. But much like with the salon later, a fitness center outbid CEC for the space.

    I wish this location could have been like Northridge, California where they kept the animatronics. I have heard that the Chuck E. Cheese’s on Pineville-Matthew’s Road in Charlotte, North Carolina may be able to keep their stage, which is only an hour and a half from where I live.

    This store is got to be one of the best stores in North Carolina! They had a bunch of 90s decor and the stage was in great shape! But sad to see when they got 2.0 also Good video Rob!

    If you do any more of these, you should consider covering Darien, IL. It had a unique "studio 3" stage, and opened as a spp. It had a rae and for a while it was a 3 stage, but then they got rid of all the cei bots and added a studio c to the center stage(imported from another loation), but they kept the 3 stage and curtains. Its a overall interesting store, something thats potentially worth looking into.

    The exterior at 2:21 is not Greensboro, it’s actually Pineville’s exterior, this photo and more can be found on the SPP website in their photo gallery section under the name “ShowBiz Pizza Place - Charlotte, NC (1984-85)”

      Incorrect, showbizpizzacom has put up multiple incorrectly labeled compilations of photos and that unfortunately is one of them. You can compare that photo with the exterior of Greensboro in 2007 and see that it’s the same exterior.
