Chuck E. Cheese's 3.0

**Chuck E. Cheese's 3.0** is a restaurant remodel for Chuck E. Cheese locations. It was first introduced in late 2018, and it's first location was in early 2019.

## History

The remodel was conceptualized in in mid-2018 after the failure of the 2.0 remodel. This was decided by Chuck E. Cheese's new parent company, CEC-ABS Entertainment. It was decided to keep the animatronics in the remodel, as well as making brand new attractions to compete with other FEC chains, and mostly with their main rivals, Rock-afire Entertainment.

The remodel was announced in late 2018. The things announced with the remodel were that Studio C Delta was going to become the standard stage for new Chuck E. Cheese's. It was also announced that Cyberamic stages would be updated with a new Munch's Make Belive Band logo, and new cosmetics for all of the characters. Chuck E.'s derby hat would also return to all Cyberamic and CU Stages. Many attractions from earlier years of the company would return like the Skytubes, Toddler Zone, Fun House, and Bumper Cars. There were also new attractions, like Chuck E.'s Lazer Zone, Pizza Time Machine Retro Arcade, Private Party Rooms, and a new version of the Sports Room with a built-in bar, though you are limited to only one cup of any alcoholic drink. It was also announced that larger rides, such as rollercoasters, would be introduced. One important announcement was that any old animatronics and decorations could be kept by the locations or auctioned off. With this announcement came three locations selected to test it; Irving, Texas, San Jose "Winchester", California, and a new flagship store located in Los Angeles, California.

The test locations were a success, so more locations got this remodel. The first international 3.0 store was the Dubai, "Jumeirah", UAE location.

In 2022, it was announced that all Peter Piper Pizza locations would become Chuck E. Cheese's, using the 3.0 remodel.

## The Remodeling Process

### Preparation

When a store gets the 3.0 remodel, the store is sent the "Coming Soon" showtape to play during the remodel, and a list of items to keep or auction off from the store.

### The Remodel

This is when the store starts the auction of items. This is also when the "Coming Soon" showtape should be played as a teaser to all of the new things coming to the store. At this time, all animatronics except Chuck E. should be turned off, as the others will need cosmetic changes for the 3.0 remodel. The store will also need to be closed or at limited capacity on certain days, as heavy construction for attractions could be a liability.

### Post Remodel

On the first day of opening the store back up as a 3.0 store, the store will be sent the "Grand Opening" showtape to play as the store reopens. This showtape is also expected to play at newly built stores.

## The Store

### Exterior

The exterior has the walls colored purple with a checkerboard pattern, with green and yellow awnings. The logo uses Chuck E.'s design from the music video for "Pumpkins in my Pockets." The text on the building is also in the classic early 80's Pizza Time Theater font.

### Interior

The main arcade area has bright green walls, while the main showroom has blue walls. Everywhere else has light gray walls. All areas meant for dining have hardwood flooring to make cleaning easier. The booths from 2.0 return, but the wood has a blue color. The sides of counters also have a hardwood material, but with natural coloring.

## Menu

The menu has been changed to serve ice cream sundaes, coffee, and fish sandwiches. New specialty pizzas were also introduced, such as "Chuck E.'s Star-Studded Pizza" (pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, olive, onion, pineapple), as well as lowering prices.

## Other

Other things about 3.0 include disabled restrooms, showtapes are longer, arcade machines use both tokens and playpass, all arcade machines dispense tickets, and other companies being able to license out the CEC brand for merchandise outside of the restaurants.
