Today we have a store tour of the recently reopened Fairfield, CA store! Originally this store opened in 1983 as a franchised Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theatre with a Balcony stage. Around the late 80’s they received a C-Stage, and in the 90’s they got a 2-Stage. From what I’ve heard, the stage used to be on the right side of the restaurant in the area where most of the little kid games are and it goes back a little bit. In 1997 they moved the stage to the left side of the building, to the right of the kitchen, and the SkyTubes were put in the former showroom area (those were removed from this location in the early 2010’s). The stage was in disrepair for years and Fairfield was notorious for having one of the worst-conditioned Cyberamic stages in the company.
Back in winter 2020, rumors started circulating that Fairfield was going to close assumingely due to leasing or franchising issues. Unfortunately, they closed for good on 1/5/21, leaving only 2 other franchised locations in California, being Redding and San Jose. They shortly thereafter opened as “GameX Pizza & Arcade” which was a family entertainment center that was practically the same thing that it already was, just without the Chuck E. Cheese branding or animatronics. They reused all the same games, took down all Chuck E. Cheese artwork, and replaced the animatronics for a projector screen. GameX didn’t last long though as you could tell.
On 7/21/22, Chuck E. Cheese finally made his official reappearance in Fairfield and they had their grand opening (they had a soft-reopening on 7/12/22 prior). The store is now a company-owned 2.0 store with a dance floor and a large screen that plays the show. They have mostly new games, with a few old ones from before, and pretty much the same layout. Unfortunately there were a few issues since it was their first weekend officially open such as games not working properly and slow food service, but I’m sure with time they’ll be on top of everything. I actually ran into my old manager from Sacramento at the Fairfield store who was helping out with the stores grand reopening, and I had a chat with her about everything, so that was cool. Anyways, its great to have Fairfield back and if you’re ever in the area, you should stop on by.
