3883 Union Deposit Rd, Store #964 is a Chuck E. Cheese that opened in August 1992, as a corporate location with a 2-Stage which is still open to this day. It is located in the Union Square Shopping Center.
It should not to be confused with the Pizza Time Theatre location which opened in 1983 and closed in 1988 with a Balcony Stage.
When this store first opened, it had a unique logo on the exterior (The "Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza" lettering was the same as every other store opening at the time) that was also featured on the road sign of the West Mifflin & the original Bridgeville PA location.
History
Harrisburg opened in August 1992 as a franchised-owned location. Harrisburg opened with the 1992 update of the 1988 Remodel including the CU decor, Record Posters, the ball crawl, blue and white awnings above the salad bar, checkers on the walls and on the exterior, and the 2-Stage. Around the late 1990s, they removed older 90's decor for newer decor, the Blue and White awnings, some checkers around the store, and the removal of the ball crawl for SkyTubes. On September 16th, 1996; The store was bought out by Corporate alongside 18 other locations. They got shelves in the showroom in 1997. In Spring 2001, Harrisburg received an expansion of the store in the back and remodeled to Phase 3. The 2-Stage was removed when they broke the back wall down for the new space and they installed a 32m Studio C Beta on the right side wall in the new expanded room. They also replaced the logo with Coach Chuck and put new red and yellow awnings for the exterior of the store (but kept the "Pizza" after Chuck E. Cheese's). With their new explaned showroom, Harrisburg had a mixture of MustCTV and Record Posters they had prior to the remodel. They received the 2005 Update of the 2003 "Cool Chuck" Reconfiguration / Major Remodel Initiative in 2008, which involved the removal of the showroom walls, removing older decor for newer decor, new booths, & adding purple walls. Harrisburg remained like this until they received the 2.0 Remodel in August 2022 removing their Studio C 2000, 32m for a Dance Floor and Video Wall which involved moving an emergency exit door towards the left and the show to the back wall; where the Studio C was installed is now more seating. Currently, as of May 2023, Harrisburg still has the 2.0 Remodel and Dance Floor and Video Wall.
Stages
Like all 2-Stages at the time, Chuck wore his Tuxedo & Derby outfit. In 2001, the 2-Stage was replaced with the Studio C Beta, 32m.
The stage was removed in August 2022 for a Dance Floor and Video Wall during their 2.0 Remodel.
As of February 2023, Harrisburg still has the Dance Floor and Video Wall and 2.0 Remodel.
