Park Ridge, IL (678 N Northwest Hwy)

678 Northwest Highway was a ShowBiz Pizza Place that opened on December 29th, 1982 and closed in 1985.

History
Park Ridge, like all other ShowBiz locations, opened with The Rock-afire Explosion. There is not to much information about this store, other than a newspaper article and the interior of the store being shown in a 1987 Christian movie.

Movie
Park Ridge’s interior and Rock-afire Explosion show are shown in the 1987 Christian movie, Gold Through The Fire. The ShowBiz part of the movie would’ve had to have been filmed during or before 1985, as Park Ridge closed in 1985. The exterior shown in the film is not Park Ridge’s exterior, but rather Arlington Heights, IL’s exterior.
