Altoona, PA (3415 Pleasant Valley Blvd)
3415 Pleasant Valley Blvd, Store #449 was a Showbiz Pizza Place that opened on November 23, 1983 with a Rock-Afire Explosion, and is still open to this day.
Altoona received Concept Unification in 1992, and is currently the last 3-Stage in Pennsylvania, after York received 2.0 in 2018 and Whitehall converted theirs into a Concept Unification 1-Stage in 2010.
Altoona is also the second last store to have "Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza" on the building, although it is on a small sign under the main facade of the building.
