They opened with with the RockAfire Explosion like every other ShowBiz did. Like many other ShowBiz locations, it had a typical SPP layout seen in many other stores across the United States. After just over four years of operation, the store shut down in November 1985. It is unknown of what happened to the show after it closed.

Significance

Bloomingdale is significant because even after closure and being turned into a different pizza restaurant in the 80s which has since closed, Bloomingdale's exterior has remained almost exactly the same as it was when it opened as a ShowBiz in 1981.

The interior of the building, although being mostly gutted, still has some walls and rooms that were there during ShowBiz, such as the tech room in the front right corner of the building.
