5118 S Staples St is a Pizza Time Theatre/Chuck E. Cheese that opened on April 1983 (day unknown) as a corporate Pizza Time Theatre with a Balcony Stage Show. It is located in an unnamed shopping center.
History
Corpus Christi opened its doors on April 1983 with a Balcony Stage. Originally it was a franchised-owned Pizza Time Theatre location, being one of the few that survived PTT's bankruptcy. Like all locations at some point, it remodeled twice in the 1990s to be up to standard.
In 2003 Corpus Christi was chosen as the first location to utilize purple walls and prototype art pieces. Along with this they've also received the at the time new Studio C concept. The location would be unchanged for some time until in 2012 when most of the artwork inside the store was removed, the store expanded it's game area, and received new seating.
Hurricane Harvey and Onwards
On August 25, 2017, the Corpus Christi location was struck by Hurricane Harvey. The inflicted damage upon the store was mainly on the exterior, as the signage and windows facing the road caved either inwards or shattered. The damage was reported by local news stations on August 26, 2017, most featuring the location's sign on the pavement. The window area where the damage occurred was swiftly given a temporary wall so the location can return to regular store operations in the coming days while the wall was finally finished in 2018, also receiving new signage.
In October 2022, the location officially remodeled again to CEC's 2.0 remodel.
Stages
Before 1992, Corpus Christi received the Chuck E's House Balcony Stage façade, otherwise known as the C-Stage. This store also received a unique porch area in front of the characters for live performances. This location would also manage to become on of the last to have a 2-Stage installed, being installed in November 1996, three years after the newer 1-Stage concept was introduced.
In 2003 the 2-Stage was replaced with the Studio C concept. This store received Studio C 2000, a newer take on the concept. This Studio C Show was later removed in October 2022 when they received the 2.0 remodel and removed their Studio C show for the Dance Floor and Video Wall.
