History
Calgary, Alberta, Canada on 2770 32nd Ave opened on August 18th, 1988, as the relocation of the 3320 20th Ave Pizza Time Theatre (Which was just outside the Sunridge Mall) which closed earlier in the month. They opened with the 1988 remodel like most stores at the time. The store would remain this way until around 1994-1995 when they would receive Phase 1 (Which involved the removal of elements from the 1988 remodel such as The Blue & White Awnings, checkers around the store, neon lights, & Chuck E.'s House being replaced with a used Road Stage from the 9627 Macleod Trail location which closed in 1994). In 1999-2000, they received the 1999 Pop Chuck posters & couple other things. It would remain this way until the store's closure in October of 2003,

Trivia
- Calgary 32nd Ave was the only CEC to ever get a used Road Stage from a closed location as it was Franchised at the time, they received it and most Road Stages that were being removed were either removed altogether or converted into a 1-Stage or a 2-Stage. This is also the only case of this ever happening.
