San Jose, CA (2445 Fontaine Rd)

San Jose, CA (2445 Fontaine Rd), also officially known as the Tully Road store, is a Chuck E. Cheese's location that opened in December of 1981 with a Balcony Stage.

This store is known for being the largest in the United States. The building was formerly a Magic Village Toy Store before becoming a Pizza Time Theatre in 1981. It went through multiple remodels and phases before finally receiving the 2.0 remodel in 2018.

Stages
When Fontaine opened, it housed a Balcony stage. Sometime between 1989 and 1990, they installed a C-Stage. At this time, the Cyberamics were in alright condition. In 1992, during the peak of the 'Tux Chuck' era, the 2-Stage was Installed. There were Skytubes also installed above the stage, adding to the entire showroom's unique look, which could never be seen with any other CEC location.

Between 2000 and 2001, a Studio C Alpha was installed. The stage housed a 32 movement animatronic, which was the most advanced animatronic in the history of CEC. The Chuck E. Cyberamic was put on display at the front entrance of the store, while the other characters unfortunately weren't.. As of 2022, the Cyberamic is still there. The Skytubes were kept until 2007.

Sometime in the 2010s, the Studio C Console was removed, and so was the Blue Screen camera.

Pre-CEC
In 1974, the building opened as Magic Village Toy Store. It featured three giant toy soldiers enclosed in giant display windows. It gained a reputation for being such a large toy store. It went out of business sometime in the 1970s and briefly became a discotheque before becoming a PTT in 1981.

PTT Era
This store opened in December 1981 with a Balcony Stage, which lasted all the way until around 1989-1990 when the stage was replaced with a C-Stage.

Training Center & Test Kitchen
In December of 1981 the store would be the exclusive host of the PTT Training Center & Test Kitchen program. This would be held on the third floor employee-only area for training employees from other locations. The test kitchen portion would allow Pizza Time Theatre to standardize their menu lineup for 1982, alongside being able to test and refine future menu releases. This program would end in 1984 with the merger of Showbiz Pizza Place and Pizza Time Theatre's companies.
