Chicago, IL (1830 W Fullerton Ave)

Chicago, IL (1830 W Fullerton Ave), Store #687 is a Chuck E. Cheese's location located in Chicago, Illinois; in the Riverpoint Center. Located 5 Miles from The Loop and being not far from I-90/I-94 this location could be considered a flagship.

Stages

The store had a 1-Stage with side to side curtains, it was the last 1-Stage to feature them. They also had the Helicopter Light, but the lights were burnt out and it only spun. It has since been replaced by a Dance Floor.

History

Before Chuck E. Cheese's, it is rumored that a Toy Store used to occupy the building.

This location opened back on September 26, 1993 (Originally numbered 1730 W Fullerton Ave.) with a 1-Stage show. The store layout and stage was identical to most stores being opened around that time. Despite being located near Downtown Chicago with the skyline in site, the store was really similar to all the other stores including size, because of this, it is not a typical flagship store.

This store received the 2005 remodel in 2008/09 and the store was expanded to the right. The TV behind Munch on the stage was removed shortly after.

In 2011, Pasqually received a Modern Mask.

In 2014, the entire store was recarpeted. Chuck's mask was replaced with the one from the Streamwood, Illinois location.

In 2020 just before the lockdown, Helen and Jasper’s masks and Chuck’s snout and jaw were replaced with the ones from Skokie, IL. Munch also had his lower Jaw replaced with a PTT one.

In August of 2022, the store would receive the 2.0 remodel replacing the 1-Stage with a dance floor. However, parts of the animatronics like the heads and the valves were sent to the Tinley Park, Illinois and Milwaukee (Chase), Wisconsin locations. As of April 2023, Chicago Fullerton is still open today.

Infamous Photo

A photo of this location's stage that was originally taken by the Chicago Tribune made it's way into mainstream media because of Chuck's Stare. It has been edited and has appeared in clickbait thumbnails, and MatPat's Chuck E. Cheese Food Theory.
