History

After the original Brooklyn PTT closed in the late 80's, Brooklyn was left without a CEC for 17 years until the opening of 139 Flatbush Avenue on July 22, 2004. Brooklyn opened on the second floor of the Atlantic Terminal shopping mall with the Phase 3 (2000) remodel, 1990s Major Remodel artwork throughout the store, 16 movement Studio C Beta with the Cool Chuck outfit, unique signs above the escalator (yellow sweater Chuck pointing) and in the front of the store. Brooklyn was one of the rare CEC's at the time to open inside a shopping mall (may have been the only one open in a mall at the time since Brockton closed the year prior). Chuck E.'s stage, similar to other NYC area stores like Bronx and Harlem, had a rope barrier to block kids from getting on the stage. It is unsure when it was put up but it was there as early as 2011 and replaced with a stronger Circles of Light stage barrier in 2014.

The Brooklyn CEC failed a health inspection in June 2006 causing the store to temporarily close after being shut down by the health department. They were re-inspected a week later and cleared to reopened. [1]The store remained in the same condition with few minor changes like the bot's outfit until May 2015 when they remodeled to Phase 5. This included removal of dim lighting for fluorescent lighting, removal of all Phase 3 artwork, new bright colored walls, Rockstar Chuck wall art, and new Rockstar exterior.

In Early 2023, the store remodeled to CEC 2.0 removing the Beta for a Dance Floor and screen, 2.0 decor around the store. During the 2.0 remodel, they received the first ever CEC Trampoline Zone which seems to be the new SkyTubes replacement.[2]
