Chesapeake, VA (1528 Sam's Circle), Store #3198/#550 is a Chuck E. Cheese in Chesapeake, Virginia that opened in December 1996 with a 2-Stage and is still open with the 2.0 remodel.

History

The location opened in December 1996 as a franchised location with the 2-Stage from the Merced Pizza Time Theatre which closed a few years prior. The store would open with the 1993 remodel. In 2010-2011, the store would receive the 2005 Update to the 2003 "Cool Chuck" Reconfiguration / Major Remodel Initiative which involved removing the Showroom Walls, Balcony Seating, adding Purple Walls, & adding Star Stage character posters in the showroom. The store would be bought out by Corporate on December 13th, 2019, alongside the other Chesapeake location & Hampton, VA (5 Towne Centre Way). Chesapeake would begin the 2.0 remodel on June 25th, 2023, removing the animatronics on July 11h, 2023. The store had its grand reopening on September 7, 2023.

Stages

Chesapeake (Sam's Circle) would open in December 1996 with the 2-Stage from the now closed Merced, CA Pizza Time Theatre which was closed sometime a year prior (which was the first 2-Stage to be installed in California, as well as being one of the first 2-Stages made). This is one of two locations to have Chuck's Red Base (The only other 2-Stage to have it was the Windsor Cross location which closed in December 2005 with their 2-Stage). Around the early to mid 200s Chuck E's tux was removed and replaced with the cool chuck outfit. However, they did keep his red derby. Then during their phase 4 remodel. They would get the full avenger outfit. This was the last Prototype 2-Stage in existence after the closure of the White Settlement location during the COVID-19 pandemic. The show’s condition was not that good in 2015 with some of its Flow Controls messed up and messy cosmetics. Around 2018 / 2019 it got a minor restoration the stage would stay this way until mid 2022 when Chucks body turn broke along with a bunch of air leaks. Most of the Backdrop Lights and Flood Lights being broken. Munch's body turn would be stuck to the right for a little bit. Pasqually's mustaches was connected to one of his arms and his head turn had an air leak. Helen and Jasper were in the best condition until in June They would start the 2.0 remodel which ended up removing the animatronics.
