History
Newington opened on October 29th, 1991 as the first Chuck E. Cheese in Kansas and as a corporate-owned store. Newington opened with the 1988 remodel and originally featured the Road Stage, the Blue and White Awnings, the CU decor, and the checkers around the store. In the mid 1990s, Newington received a minor remodel removing older CU decor for the Record Posters, Colored Chase Lights, and the removal of the Road Stage for the 1-Stage. In the late 1990's, Newington would receive the "Phase 3" remodel removing older decor for newer decor, and removing the ball pit for SkyTubes. Newington would remain like this until in 2006-2007 when they received the 2005 remodel (Phase 4) removing older Phase 3 decor for newer decor, removing the Showroom Walls, Balcony Seating, relocating the stage, and expanded to fit in more games and tables. Newington would remain like this until in September 2022, when they would receive the 2.0 remodel, this involved removing the Road Stage and replacing it with a Dance Floor + Video Wall. Strangely, they kept the original "Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza" road sign shape when it first opened in December 1990. Currently, as of March 2023, Newington still has the 2.0 remodel and Dance Floor + Video Wall.
