820 W Hind Dr was a Chuck E. Cheese's located in Honolulu, HI in the Aina Haina Shopping Center which opened on February 15th, 1983 as a Showbiz Pizza Place and closed as a Chuck E. Cheese's sometime around Summer 2009.

History

Before it became a Showbiz Pizza Place, it was built in 1950 as a retail market, which explains the short ceiling height of this location. ^[1]

This location opened on February 15th, 1983 as the only franchised Showbiz Pizza Place in Hawaii.

In 1998 the plan to remodel the location was created It is currently unknown when or if they ever standardized by a Showbiz Pizza Time remodel previously.^[1]

Closure

In July 2007, the shopping center that this location was in had been sold,^[2] which eventually led up to multiple anchors in the shopping center closing for redevelopment, including this store, as it was announced in September 2008 that their lease was no longer going to be renewed,^[3] eventually closing down around Summer 2009 when their lease finally expired. This store since then relocated to 1199 Dillingham Blvd and reopened on August 29th, 2009.

Stages

This location in particular had the shortest recorded stage height to be used in a Showbiz Pizza Place location, being the bare minimum of around 10 Inches.

In March 1991, this location underwent Concept Unification and also was never subject to hiding the "In Pizza We Trust" on the Wink, removing the Munch Jr. spot, or replacing the original carpet the show was installed with. The show received the updated 3-Stage cosmetics created by Cowan Costumes but they didn't receive Jasper's until sometime after 2003, even though its initial release was in 1999.

In 2009 the location closed and relocated to a newer location. The franchise bought over several fixtures as any other relocation would. One of these fixtures also happened to be the Chuck E. Cheese neon sign used on the 3-Stage. It currently sits on display in the merchandise area of the new store.
