CEC (October 1993-November 2010)
The Paramus (221 South Dr) location would open on October 18th, 1993 in a plaza across the street from the Bergen Town Center with their 1-Stage and the 1993 update to the 1994 SPT Repositioning / Remodel Program. The store would remain this until around 1997 when the store would receive Phase 2 which involved replacing Exterior Signage (Changing it from "Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza" to "Chuck E. Cheese's"), replacing the awnings, repainting the building, and possibly a minor interior remodel. The store would remain this way until it's closure in November 2010.

Post CEC (2010-Present)
After the store's closure, the plaza the location was housed in would be demolished to make way for a new development. By 2012, A building housing REI, Red Robin (which was formerly another restaurant) (Now Closed), & Kirkland's (Now Closed). As of March 2023, this building is still there.

Stages
When Paramus (221 South Dr) opened, the store housed a 1-Stage (One of six installed in the state of New Jersey). Chuck E. wore his Tuxedo & Derby hat like all other 1-Stages when it was first installed. Around the Early-Mid 2000's Chuck's Tuxedo & Derby Outfit would be replaced by the Cool Chuck outfit. Chuck also wore the avenger cap in as early as 2006 (it is possible their cap was from a walkaround not the one for animatronics). It would remain this way until the stage's removal when the store closed permanently in November 2010.
