Jackson, MS (5465 I-55)

5465 I-55, Store #213 was a Chuck E. Cheese's that opened in August 1982 as part of the Melvin franchise. This location opened as the first Mississippi location and would later be relocated to 6352 Ridgewood Court Rd in June 2009.

Stages
This location debuted with a Balcony Stage, one of two in the state, the other being in Biloxi, MS. Sometime around 1990, the Balcony Stage was retrofitted with Chuck E.'s House Facade. Throughout the 1990's, most of the cosmetics were replaced with updated ones. This was the second to last known location with the façade installation. This location also had the Beagles as a lounge act when they were a Pizza Time Theatre, it is unknown when this act was removed.

In early 1999 the former Balcony Stage would be demolished, and Studio C would be installed in an empty wall next to the stage. In 1999, their C-Stage was replaced the Studio C which remained at the store until relocation. The Chuck E. Cheese animatronic on this Studio C kept its original Late-Night inspired outfit until its relocation in June 2009.

History
This location was once home to a Kmart Foods which opened with the Kmart on August 16, 1973 and closed in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

The Kmart also opened with the former Kmart Foods on August 16, 1973 and like stated above, relocated to 597 Beasley Road [former American Fare, a prototype store that only was in 3 cities, Stone Mountain, Charlotte and Jackson that was one of the first big supermarket ideas] on November 4, 1992 with the Super Kmart Center opening on November 5, 1992 and closing in November 2000, then opening again on September 20, 2001 and closing around 2003-2005.

Besides the opening of the location, very little is known about this location as a Pizza Time Theatre, other than the fact that before 1991 the location would remodel for the first time as part of unifying Pizza Time Theatre and Showbiz Pizza Place. The location would remodel for the second and final time in early 1999, most likely receiving Phase 2 in the process.

In June 2009 this location would relocate to 6352 Ridgewood Court Rd, with a majority of assets from this location being transferred to the new location. The former space of the Chuck E. Cheeses would be bought by a local supermarket and would reopen on December 21, 2010, as "Oriental Supermarket & Restaurant" and "Mr. Chen's Authentic Chinese Cooking." . The only traces of Chuck E. Cheese's that remain within the building is the architectural design choices that made CEC distinguishable. Meaning that the facade is still intact.
