820 W Hind Dr, Store #2024 was a Chuck E. Cheese's located in Honolulu, Hawaii 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.
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 around 2004-2005, Chuck's Tuxedo & Derby was replaced with the Cool Chuck outfit; which he wore until the store's closure.
By 2006, the condition of the center and right stages had severely worsened, and its condition would remain up until the store's closure.
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.
History
820 W Hind Dr. was built in 1950 as a local market before opening as the only franchised Showbiz Pizza Place in Hawaii on February 15th, 1983.[1]
The location would remain as a Showbiz Pizza until undergoing Concept Unification, becoming Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza, speculated to be around March 1991.
In 1998 plans to remodel the location were created and was most likely to receive Phase II alongside this remodel. This would be the last major remodel that this location would have until its closure.
Closure
In July 2007, the location's shopping center was sold to a California company, which planned on redeveloping the shopping center.[2] This redevelopment led up to multiple anchors in the shopping center closing to make way for future redevelopment in the area, including Chuck E. Cheese's, as it was announced in March 2008 that their lease would no longer be renewed,[3] eventually closing down around Summer 2009 when their lease finally expired. This store has since then relocated to 1199 Dillingham Blvd and reopened on August 29th, 2009.
