Most of the photos in the video do not belong to me, and unfortunately I cannot find the proper credit for them all. Those photos that don't belong to me belong to their rightful owners, and I am just using them for the purposes of this video.
Crap, please don't label this as for kids. It's not meant for kids, it's meant for entertainment and archival purposes.

You kept crediting me for photos from that video from the 90s, I didn't upload that... the picture of Helen has lil' me in there, as well as the one you couldn't see Chuck that much in.
Another thing to note is Chuck got rid of the tux in 2005 or 2006, not 2010.
Someone stole Chuck's Eyebrows sometime in the mid-late 2010s, but the eyebrows you see on the Cyber in Albmarle are most likely Pasqually's since he doesn't have any.
Albmarle got rid of the Tux before Pineville did, so somewhere around 2004; I remember going once during that time.
Just checked the video and you’re correct! That’s my mistake, the Kellar Family Videos channel had the 90’s footage, while you had the 2000’s photos. I’ve credited you properly in the description though I’ve pinned this comment so people will see this. Also, the other smaller clarifications are appreciated, thank you.
Edit: I've tried fixing things by adding cards with credits and links to their respective videos, but if you want me to take the video down and fix things that way I can do that as well. I'd worked longer that day and was trying to get the video done, but obviously I looked over some mistakes while doing so. I think I'll also try to ask the community about some things next time as well so I can get more accurate information, thanks again for pointing these things out.

I used to love playing Chatty Chuck E at pineville ❤
Pizza cam is now added back but he’s being fixed as of now and is not being used for performances. The other Charlotte location building front was repainted and has now since received 2.0 and surprisingly right across from one of my favorite small businesses in the area
Yayyy!!! Pineville is one of my locals I went last summer. Charlotte is so big many people forget Raleigh as it’s capital.
Honestly love what this guys got going for Pineville. I have a sorta similar situation to what you had. I just now got into CEC in September, and Pineville is the closest location with bots (4 hours 😭) and I wanna visit and I might ask my parents if thats fine. I hope the tech man keeps staying here and changing Pineville for the better. Great video, nonetheless 👏👏
The roadside stage location was my childhood location and I still have many memories of it despite the downgrade of quality in recent years. Also a year ago I moved pretty close to the 3 stage and it was amazing, it truly felt nice to see a location thriving like it once was back in the early 2010’s and I’m glad to hear that CEC will be preserving it for generations to come as with that Showbiz can also live forever.
I need that looney walkaround
It's the only one in existence at least what people say🤓
Great history video. Definitely one of my favorite stores of all time. #savepineville3stage
the road stage is actually in (somewhat) good condition now
they preform and the wink is fixed!
I’ve seen it, but it’s got a long way to go before I can consider it “good” condition.
Also Helen’s blue eye makeup was changed back to purple
The one that started it all
They also did go back to performing a year later before getting 2.0 although it wasn’t much
Also good news pinevillie is now soon to be the next retro store in north carolina/south carolina (well that if you count the columbia location being remodeled cause of a compressor breaking down hence why i added south carolina to this)
Yep! I’ll be making an update video to this history video soon, it’s my first ever history video so it needs an update badly. I’m going to try and wait and see when the grand reopening is, or at least when they remodel. I hear they’re remodeling sometime in June, so we’ll have to see how that goes and get the video made from there.
@@ItzaRobalso will you make a history of the columbia sc location since they got 2.0 for a dumb reason because of a compressor broken sadly it was the location i went to back then and it had the 3 stage animatronics and all im hoping the nc location can also count as a sc location since the columbia sc location is pretty much dead (not fully) but without the robots
And also (as chucky from the syfy and USA series chucky from episode 7 of season 1 would say but in this context of awesome news)
"CEC entertainment thank you! Finally! You have no idea how hard its been getting your corporate company to step the heck up and make the right choice"
and by that i mean having Pineville NC be the next retro store and of course the other 2 locations as well
I just learned about the history of this location from this video and others and realized its only 30 minutes from me!
They are keeping the 3 stage at Pineville NC
I have sad news, albemarle’s road stage has been removed on June 2 2024. There are no more road stages in America. Mississauga’s road stage is now the only existing road stage. guys if you are reading this, go see Mississauga’s road stage while you still can! (P.S. It’s currently in a state of disrepair)
If pizzacam was in storage why did pineville get laurels pizzacam for their 2.0??
That never was confirmed actually, this is my first every history video and I'm going to be making an update on it in the near future.
Update this is keeping ir's stage!
Update: Pineville Chuck E Cheese 3 Stage Has Been Saved!
Along With Hicksville And Springfield!
But what about the other 3?
@@ChikizisDeiracerwhat do you mean?
Although Billy Bob’s wonderland still continues using it today
nice you should do albany ga
I'll add it to the list!
Nice history video, also in July 14 2023 the animatronics on albermarle rd stopped being on random mode and finally starts working/performing again, and sometime in August 2023 pasqually’s mustache had been fixed and isn’t upside down anymore, (but he still kinda looks weird tbh) also the date for albermarle rd to get 2.0 is now gonna be on February 2024
This location is actually gonna try to get 2.0? That's kinda funny honestly considering how empty it often is in there, I expected it to end up closing instead since there's already another location in Charlotte (I wouldn't want it to because of the Road Stage but if it's not getting business then it can't really continue to stay open).
No 2.0 Has Happened Yet Happened To Albermarle RD's CEC, Still Exists Currently, As I Went There, They Are Still Onstage, So The 2.0 Has Been Pushed Back, To My Guess, I'm Not Sure When It Is Planned, But Hopefully Not Soon.. ( Also They Havent Closed, And The Pizzeria Was Filled With People When We Went.
0:07 lol
This is ace, and like one on nathen spies videos❤
There is a 3rd location in Charlotte that you forgot it has a studio C beta
That’s in Gastonia, not Charlotte. Locations have to be located directly in Charlotte in order to be considered a part of the area for these videos.
@@ItzaRob I googled Charlotte Chuck E. Cheese and Concord was one of the results
@@ShowbizPizzaCollector Literally when you look up the location, it states it’s located in Concord, NC, not Charlotte. I don’t care if it pops up on Google as such, it is officially recognized as part of Concord and therefore I did not forget it, it was an intentional location I left out.
@@ItzaRob ok
Video idea what if the first Chuck E. Cheese never closed
can you make a history video on showbiz pizza place in Evansville Indiana
I'll add it to the list!
@@ItzaRob ok
Huntsville AL Didn't close it got 2.0
At 3:45 the image is mislabeled as charolette but it’s actually Greensboro’s exterior from the 80S
The photo was found from a group of photos from the Pineville location. You could be right but again, there's no confirmation without knowing who took it and where they say it was taken. I did just take a look at Greensboro's exterior and it definitely looks like it could be from that location but again, without confirmation there's no certainty.
Pineville Photos: www.showbizpizza.com/photos/spp/nc_charlotte/index.html
Edit: I also found a user named matturban9103 who claims that he took most of those 80's Pineville photos while his brother took a couple. He says the van picture is in the strip mall lot in Charlotte. It's the top comment on this video: ruclips.net/video/4KsZjxRuh74/видео.html
Again, I'm not saying you're for sure wrong, it just seems strange to me that this person who claimed to take these photos would claim a photo that wasn't from that location when they say it was.
@@ItzaRob yeah I could be wrong but I found photos of greensboro from the 2000s and it had the same exterior www.showbizpizza.com/photos/cec/unknown_05/21.jpg
They remolded in I think 2013? But I went to the location a couple years prior to the remodel and it had the same exterior as in that photo. AGAIN I could be wrong.
Can u please do Hicksville NY? Please!!!!
I will look into it after I finish another viewer’s requested location. It shouldn’t take too terribly long to get to it, maybe a couple weeks.
@ℙ𝕦𝕣𝕡𝕝𝕖 𝔼𝕩𝕠𝕥𝕚𝕔 Hey, do you mind if I make your location history into a short? There's not enough on it to make a whole video about unless it's a short, and I don't wanna combine your location with other people's location requests due to confusion that could cause.
@@ItzaRobPLEASE DO SAVANNAH GA!
@@rhandrew I'm not taking anymore history video requests right now.
Albemarle has removed there road stage for a studio c alpha unfortunately
Bro what 😂
I saw a video on Google maps it was posted 1 month ago showing it off! And I'm girl!
That isn’t albemarle that is a whole different store in Charlotte
Yes looney bird had a walk around lol
How did looney get one but not Rolfe and earl
@@capybara455 cuz Looney Bird had his own place at one point not them
How come charolettes road stage is stuck on random mode why can't they perform
They removed the TV on the stage from this location, I don't know if that has anything to do with how they receive programming but it's possible without that TV they couldn't perform. This Road Stage location happened to be one with a lower budget from what I've heard, so that definitely could be a part of why they decided to do that/why they don't perform.
@@ItzaRob They were performing show 4 2022 ruclips.net/video/xqhy_CeeyPE/видео.html
#savepineville
Yeah I saw pizza cam back when he was maskless and lemme tell ya it was not pleasant
Is their any footage of pineville in bad condition?
It appears Pineville stayed in at least decent condition through its entire run thus far.
You forgot the concord and Gastonia locations
Uh no I didn't. If it's not located directly in Charlotte then it's not included here. They'll get their own history videos.
6:29 chuck still had his laytex feet
That’s a stock photo, not Pineville’s own Chuck.
@@ItzaRob oh sorry 😅
@@ItzaRobthat photo is most likely from the richmond va location
@@heythatskyle14 That's interesting, but it doesn't really matter here because it's used as a stock photo.
@ItzaRob you should redo this vid but updated
I plan to soon, right now I’m waiting for the grand reopening to happen before doing that.
Oh pk
@@ItzaRob have you heard PTT artwork has showed up
@@Puddles-HasAPuddle I’ve kept up with Pineville, I’m aware.
8:44 you said "before it closed" it did not close it just got remodled. you should have said before it got "remodled" not closed.
This was my first ever history video. As a result, this video has multiple mistakes that I intend to fix in an updated video on this area in the future. Right now I’m just waiting to see what’s going to happen to the store before making an updated video.
If you do decide to redo this location then here is a heads up the photos of when it was a showbiz pizza is apparently Greensboro @ItzaRob
@@mechaitheracer2563 I heard, I will definitely be redoing this area in the future once a definitive conclusion on whether it will be saved or not is determined.
@ItzaRob I have heard of resent rumors that it will be saved as billings will remodel first then pineville but the smart thing to do is to not celebrate early and wait until corp officially speaks about it on their RUclips channel like they did with Northridge ca
@@mechaitheracer2563 Exactly.
