It should also not be confused with the Charlotte, NC (7701 Pineville-Matthews Rd) location as it opened on October 11th, 1982 with the Rock-Afire Explosion which is still open to this day with the 3-Stage.

History
Charlotte (Albemarle) opened in November 1991 (day unknown) as one of two North Carolina locations with a Cyberamic Munch's Make Believe Band Stage (the other is Durham, NC (3724 Mayfair St) which opened on March 7th, 1994 with a 1-Stage). It was also a Franchised location when it first opened. This location opened with the 1988 Remodel with the CU decor, and the Road Stage. Around the mid-late 1990's, They replaced the logo with Coach Chuck (Which was actually white alongside the lettering) and removed older 90's decor for newer decor and SkyTubes. On December 8th, 1997, Charlotte (Albemarle) was acquired by Corporate alongside Richmond, VA (10430 Midlothian Turnpike). In 2007-2008, they remodeled to the 2005 update to the 2003 "Cool Chuck" Reconfiguration / Major Remodel Initiative which involved the removal of the showroom walls (A small portion of the left hand side of their Showroom was sacrificed for more Gameroom Space), removing older decor for newer decor, & adding purple walls. Sometime in 2015, Charlotte (Albemarle); alongside the Charlotte NC area stores (Charlotte (Pineville), Concord, & Gastonia and some other markets tested the Play Pass system. Currently, as of February 2023, the location still has the 2005 Remodel and the Road Stage.

Stages
Like all Road Stages at the time, Chuck wore his Tuxedo & Derby outfit. Up and Down curtains were added by 1998. In the Early 2000's this was replaced with the Cool Chuck outfit. By the Late 2000's, Chuck's outfit was replaced with the Avenger outfit. After the 2000's and into the 2010's, Chuck was then given custom eyebrows and the Wink's eye was then broken and tilted. This is the last location with the Road Stage style Helen mask.

As of February 2023, Charlotte (Albemarle) still has the Road Stage and 2005 Remodel.
