The Florence, KY location was opened on April 19, 1982 by The Bernstein Restaurant Group. "...play some 60 video games at the resturant. There also will be a ski-ball lane to play and hydraulic rides, such as a carousel and a helocopter, for children to ride." "The dining room will feature a puppet show. The puppets are electronic and are activated by computer tape. "The shows last about seven or eight minutes," said Bernstein". ^[10] Despite a May 1982 article stating "computer-controlled robots with names such as Dolli Dimples and the Beagles entertain youngsters." ^[11] There is no photographic proof they existed and this is the only article referencing them.

In July 1984 while the parent company Pizza Time Theatre was declaring bankruptcy Jim Berenstain stated "Chuck E. Cheese is not dead. We're in business and planning to stay,". ^[12]

By 1987 Showbiz Pizza Place & Pizza Time Theatre had merged together with the ads beginning to reflect that. Since by that point every other SPP & PTT in the area had closed only Florence, Ky & Cincinnati, OH (8801 Colerain Ave) would be the only stores to show on these ads.^[13]

Two of the CD Awards were relocated to the other side of the Show Room where the other two CD Awards already were located. During this update they would replace all of the SPT 1988 Remodel Program booths with the SPT 1992 Remodel Program booths and wood paneling was also updated to be up to modern standards.^[16]

During the remodel, the entire showroom was shifted with the stage being moved from the right wall to the back wall. A smaller version of the Skytubes were added (and removed in 2017).
-The store began its 2.0 remodel on March 14, 2022; the stage was removed on March 31, 2022. The store's grand reopening was May 10th, 2022 and included the Helen Henny walkaround as part of the festivities. As of its removal, Florence was the one of the last stores to have a PTT Jasper mask and was the last store in Kentucky to have a full MMBB Show. After the animatronics were removed for 2.0, they would be destroyed and sent to a landfill.

-==Trivia==
-*Before the store was bought out by Corporate, Florence was '''''Store #212''''' according to the old chuckecheese.com website from 2007. It was renumbered to '''''Store #112''''' when Corporate bought out the store. The store number will be reused for the upcoming [[Whitter, CA (13400 Whittier Blvd)]] location.
