Concept Unification 1-Stage

The Concept Unification 1-Stage, also known as the "CU 1-Stage", is a stage setup found at three Chuck E. Cheese locations that had the Concept Unification Stage located on the side wall or had to be moved due to the store expanding.

History
In September 2010 with the remodel of the Whitehall, PA (1000 Lehigh Valley Mall) location CEC introduced a brand-new stage that would be introduced for stores with the Concept Unification Stage which had to be moved due to store expansion / remodel. This stage would then be installed at two other stores once in 2011 in Springfield, IL (2369 McArthur Ave) and lastly with Columbus, GA (3201 Macon Rd) in late 2011.

Between the installation of Whitehall and Springfield the backdrop had minor backdrop design changes. Such as changing from night to daytime, changing the designs of various buildings and replacing some with trees, changing the scale of the imagery shown to be much smaller making the backdrop seem bigger.

In 2015 CEC Entertainment moved to its current offices installing a combination of the CU 1-Stage and Concept Unification Stage. It would reuse the neon sign, TV light, star, buildings, planters, valence and all the animatronics being put onto one stage to fit the downsized space.

On April 23, 2023, the "CU 1-Stage" in Columbus, GA (3201 Macon Rd) would be removed during a 2.0 remodel.
