History
Westmoreland (Redbird) opened its doors on September 15th, 1982 with a Rock-afire Explosion show. It was originally and currently a corporate-owned store. Like many other ShowBiz Pizza locations, it had a typical SPP layout seen in many other stores across the United States and would eventually receive the 1988 remodel years after it would open. Although some documentation exists back in the ShowBiz days, it can be determined that Westmoreland (Redbird) was one of several locations to receive an Uncle Klunk show package (and a Santa Claus retrofit package as well) sometime after opening. Like many ShowBiz locations in the late 1980s, Westmoreland (Redbird) received the Showbiz Pizza Campground upgrade.

In around 1991, Westmoreland (Redbird) received Concept Unification which converted the show to Munch's Make Believe Band. In around the Mid-Late 1990's, Westmoreland (Redbird) received the Phase 1 remodel which removed some early 90's decor, added new decor, a new exterior, and SkyTubes. In around 2003-2004, Westmoreland (Redbird) would receive the 2003 Update of the 2003 "Cool Chuck" Reconfiguration / Major Remodel Initiative which involved remvoving the Showroom Walls, Balcony Seating, and also removing some older 90's decor (keeping the record posters in the showroom). Westmoreland (Redbird) remained this way until sometime in 2009-2011 when they received the 2005 Update which involved removing the record posters, replacing the dim lighting with brought florescent lighting, and removing some the art from the 2003 update. In the Mid 2010's, a ticket blaster camera was added to the Ticket Blaster which was located to the left of Stage Left before the 2.0 Remodel occurred. In May-June 2022, Westmoreland (Redbird) was one of the four locations to test the Navori System alongside Arlington, TX, Grapevine, TX, & Irving, TX locations. On August 8th 2022, Westmoreland (Redbird) started their 2.0 remodel and later on in the month, they removed the 3-Stage for the 2021 model Dance Floor & Video Wall. They were formerly the last 3-Stage in Texas. As of January 2023, they still have the 2.0 remodel and the 2021 model Dance Floor & Video Wall.
