Crap, please don't label this as for kids. It's not meant for kids, it's meant for archival and entertainment purposes. Развлечения
Just wanna clarify we don't have evidence that Fargo had Klunk or Santa, and I've removed that outdated section from the wiki page. All 100% confirmed stores are currently listed in the ShowBiz Events category for Klunk and Santa, to where its a different set of stores each year.
Good to know, I'll pin this comment so people can see this.
fargo did have klunk and santa. the general manager who had been there since day one confirmed this and has photos of him.
Just because you didn't find something doesn't make it false
@@ChuckEEntertainment But without any evidence you can't state something was there. That being said, if the comment above yours is true then I would say that's evidence enough that they were there.
@@chase_taylor556 Do we know where this was said and if any photos are available?
I used to live in Fargo and go here all the time when I was younger! One time I found a case of bullets in the ball pit 😬 told staff and they gave me a superman necklace as a thank you lol
That was you?! dang!
The bus was used for birthday party groups that would get picked up after school & taken straight to CEC.
I remember going here as a kid, and sneaking behind the basketball machines, crawling under them and taking a bunch of tickets.
I've been to this chuck E cheese and during my childhood i lived in fargo. I was talking with my friend and she said "when i looked back in the playground i saw a little kid following me and when she g9t to look back it wasnt there anymore. I've always been obssessed with ghosts and at Chuck E cheese tehre i use to hide behind the tbakes for about 20 minutes but even after i still felt uncomfortable. And the person that walks out in the costume didnt acare me but, on my birthday i had to stand right next to the animatronics and with my brother and older cousin next to me i kind felt comfortable. I have witnessed many of them getting stuck and mouths not closing, the pizza guy scared me more than ever, or even jasper! I havent been there since 2018? 2019?
I can already tell this one is gonna be a banger
Thank you for covering this location!!! I’ve been to this location quite a few times! Im happy I enjoyed it while I could. Last time I went would be 2021 just a year before it was removed I made sure to bring some tokens as I knew they were phasing them out and they make pretty good souvenirs.
You’re welcome, it was quite the interesting location to cover.
@@ItzaRobI learned a lot from this video I never knew about this location! Glad you covered it.
This definitely was one of the most unique locations, and its really the only one i grew up knowing so i feel lucky lol, but ya jasper and pasqually having latex masks until late 2007-2008 i believe pasqually still had latex hands in 2014 but then i think it was in 2016 he had one latex and one plastic hand lol. I still cant process that they arent there anymore, i keep having dreams about that place.
Nvm it was 2014 when pasqually had the one latex and one plastic hand
You had a pretty cool local honestly, and one that kept their animatronics in good shape for so long. I'm disappointed that it's gone as well.
I used to love going there! I was quite disappointed when they remodeled
Remember going there all the time as a kid, the arcade was great. The pizza was secondary. Went a few times as an adult for my niece and nephew and, well, about what you'd expect. Kids had fun though. It closed down not to longer ago out of the blue.
What they meant by “redo the entire left side” was they moved the menu to the left wall to where it is normally, and then the salad bar would be moved where the menu would normally be
I remember seeing the place again a few times before the animatronics were taken out. They still had a lot of the same video clips I saw as a kid from the early 2000's playing on the Tv's. I've still got tokens I've kept from both chuck-e and showbiz. They also still used the physical tokens and tickets for quite a while despite the advent cards to play the machines. Odd to see how the place has changed now.
EDIT: Discovered the place is now closed from fellow commenters and local news. RIP.

Fargo empty af
Hey me too!@@ThatoneNorwegianyoutuber
Great video, as always! Can’t wait for the next installment of this series!
Every time i think about this channel you upload right now ur my favorite youtuber
Man, at one point this location had an AvP arcade machine. Got to see a man impaled by an alien queen as a kid. Good times.
I was there as a kid, I remember witnessing the bite of '87. You just took me back thank you!
I got to take my kids to this location. It was all of our first times. It closed 3 days later. Eric, one of the workers there was super cool and very nice to my kids
One of my Aunts took me and my brother over there when we were younger and it was pretty fun
I currently live in Fargo and going here was the best!
How many times do you go to hot topic
I remember when the Fargo Showbiz switched to Chuck E Cheese. I liked it much better as Showbiz.
Scott Cramer is from Fargo! And I go to school there although I was born in Bismarck.
I remember coming here once and a kid found bullets in the ball pit while I was there. The animatronics were so eerie now that I think about it
I live in Fargo and I used to always want to go there when I was a kid 😭
Great video 👍
Cool video! Sadly they abruptly closed the Fargo location this spring.
As of today, Fargo is now closed. Super unfortunate. 😞
that boulder be like an oversized burnt reeses puff
Do alpine ave, its in walker mi. There were 3 locations on the same street, with the last two being confirmed to have been across the street from each other, while being open at the same time until the late 2000s
I’m not taking anymore history video requests right now, but that does sound intriguing.
This was my childhood chuck e cheese's 😢 sad to see it's downfall
Unfortunately, this location has closed recently. It hurt to see it shut down.
This stage is underrated asf
Bad news: the store just permanently closed yesterday, that mean Sioux Falls SD is the last remaining Chuck E. Cheese in the Dakotas area.
Not only that, but it was the only Chuck E. Cheese’s 2.0 to have the old red Chuck E. Cheese’s text in the world.
@@Jaydens27lolcoolthebestlolthats misinformation buddy
I go to school right next to this location and it's so tragic that it closed down :(
Having a field trip to cec would be the funnest thing ever 😂
Debatable nowadays, but even now I guess it would be better than schoolwork lol.
Nice 👍
You should make a video about the showbiz pizza place in Australia

Chattanooga opened on October 19th, 1982 as the 4th ShowBiz Pizza store in Tennessee (4th after Madison, Knoxville, & Memphis Hickory Hill) with a Rock-afire Explosion show. It was originally a franchised-owned store. They would later end up receiving the 1988 Remodel removing the old Showbiz decor, and adding newer decor. In 1991, Chattanooga received Concept Unification which removed the Rock-Afire for the 3-Stage and removed all Showbiz decor, added new decor, and a change to the exterior. Chattanooga was then bought by the corporate on September 16, 1996 along with 18 other locations. Chattanooga underwent another remodel in the Mid 90's which involved the removal of the Neon Signage, Blue and White Awnings, some checkers around the store and another exterior change. In 2000 or 2001, Chattanooga received the Phase 3 remodel removing older decor, adding newer decor, and SkyTubes. In 2006-2007, Chattanooga received the 2005 Remodel which removed all 1990's store art, Balcony Seating, Showroom Walls, another change to the exterior, adding purple walls, & the 3-Stage was removed for the Studio C Beta. Their road sign was actually interesting as the Phase 3 sign had Chuck E. in a different pose and had the Showbiz Pizza sign mold were kept from their 2000 or 2001 remodel and opening until 2013-2014 when the sign was changed to the Phase 4 sign. In September 2019, Chattanooga received the 2.0 remodel which removed the Beta for the Dance Floor. The store's Grand Reopening would occur in around December 2019. As of January 2023, Chattanooga still has the 2.0 Remodel and Dance Floor.

Make a sanborndino video
I'm not taking anymore history video requests right now.
Why is Chuck e’s shirt backwards on the thumbnail?
I flipped the image so his position looked better for the thumbnail. In hindsight it may have been better to flip Billy Bob since he would have looked less strange that way.
@@ItzaRob oh
Can u do Chuck E. Cheese Houston Texas on memorial drive
Someone already requested the entirety of Houston, so I'll make sure to credit you as well when I get around to it which shouldn't be too long.
Ok ty

Closed march 18th 2024
itzrob theres a beach bear up for sale on ebay
I already have said that I won't be owning anymore than two animatronics at one time, and also that's $16K which is overpriced.
BTW it's not 16 it's 7k and it got bought lol
@@Retroshowbizpizzagaming I have no clue what you're talking about then. The only other Beach Bear I know of aside form Aaron's $16K one that was on Ebay in recent time was the one without cosmetics that sold a few months back. Nothing recently. I even checked sold and completed items to make sure nothing had sold recently and didn't see anything like that.
Nah I live in Fargo, North Dakota
Rip
Dont say grand opening it isnt grand at all
That’s what they call it, I don’t like putting my opinion into stuff like this usually.
this has permently shut.
Today it does yes.
just today????@@ItzaRob
@@bubereye1691 I'm saying that after today, it will be closed permanently yes.
Save the northern white rhino
Could you please not spam a message across my videos? It's a bit annoying.
@@ItzaRob why i send it to that one mouse to and beachkai and more people
@@karlgt3656 Spamming messages is annoying to a lot of people. Commenting something one time on a person’s channel is enough. If you want to say it on other people’s channels then go ahead but I would not spam comments as that usually annoys people.
@@ItzaRob just search northern white rhino and there's only two northern white rhinos left in the world and kalbo song
Wow this video aged terrible
