Indianapolis, IN (8109 E Washington St)

8109 E Washington St also known as Washington was a Showbiz Pizza Place that opened on June 18, 1982 with a Rock-Afire Explosion, and closed in December 2011 with a 3-Stage.

This location is located near what looks to be a Former Target which was a former Ayr-Way until they moved to the Washington Square Mall in 1999 which was converted into furniture store named Indy Wholesale Furniture (Which turned into a mall named El Mercadito Mall then was later re-abandoned). They would receive Concept Unification in 1991 or 1992, and closed in December 2011 due to it being one of the last businesses in the nearly dead shopping center and then relocated to 10021 E Washington St with a Studio C 2000, 16M later that same month which is still operating to this day.

History
8109 E Washington St opened on June 18th, 1982 and had a Rock-Afire Explosion like every other Showbiz. Around 1991 or 1992, they would receive Concept Unification and receive the Concept Unification decor and a new exterior. In around the Mid 1990's, They would receive either Phase 1 or Phase 2 which added a lot of 1990s decor and assets such as the Record Posters and Colored Chase Lights. In the late 90's, they received the Phase 3 remodel which got a new exterior and most of the early 90s decor was removed and the late 90's and 2000's decor and SkyTubes were added. Washington was a unique store because of the very uncommon (at the time) Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza sign. They would remain like this until their closure in December 2011 because they were located in an abandoned shopping center and it did not bring enough business and then relocated to 10021 E Washington St with a Studio C 2000, 16M later that same month. After they closed, they remained vacant for a few years until a party room business named "Elegance" moved in. The business operated for 4-5 years until they closed sometime in 2022, and possibly earlier. As of January 2023, "Washington" is still abandoned in the abandoned shopping center and no business has taken it.

Stages
Originally when the store opened, they had a Rock-Afire Explosion like every other Showbiz location. In 1991 or 1992, they would undergo Concept Unification, this was the process used to convert the RAE characters into the Chuck E. Cheese characters. They would still have this stage until their closure in December 2011 due to it being in an abandoned shopping center.
