Chucky Cheese?

Question

What was the name of the restaurant before they named it Chucky Cheese?

Answer 1

The company was founded in 1977 by Atari founder Nolan Bushnell as Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre.



In 1984, Pizza Time Theatre, Inc, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and was purchased by competitor ShowBiz Pizza Place, which also featured pizza, video games, and singing animatronic characters. The company then changed its name to Showbiz Pizza Time, Inc. It was also at this time that Richard M. Frank became the CEO and decided to change the target audience from the 10 to 17 years age group to the 0 to 12 years range they have today. Both the Chuck E. Cheese's and ShowBiz names continued to be used until 1992, when Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza became the name for all of the restaurants.
