History
Huntsville opened on June 8th, 1982 as the 2nd ShowBiz Pizza store in Alabama (2nd after Mobile, AL (710 Downtowner Loop)) with a Rock-afire Explosion show. It was originally and currently, a corporate owned store. They would later end up receiving the 1988 Remodel removing the old Showbiz decor, and adding newer decor. In 1991, Huntsville received Concept Unification which removed the Rock-Afire for the 3-Stage and removed all Showbiz decor, added new decor, and a change to the exterior. Huntsville underwent another remodel in the Mid-Late 90's which involved the removal of the Neon Signage, Blue and White Awnings, some checkers around the store, another exterior change. In 2006-2007, Huntsville received the 2005 Remodel which removed all 1990's store art, Balcony Seating, Showroom Walls, and adding purple walls. In around 2011-2012, Huntsville received the 2010 Update which involved redoing the front counter, repainting the exterior, adding another set of Emergency Exit Doors to the exterior, and expanding the store. As of March 2023, Huntsville still has the 2010 Update and the 3-Stage.
Stages
Originally when the store opened, they had a Rock-Afire Explosion, as all other Showbiz locations did, and would have it for several years until 1991 when they would receive Concept Unification, this was the process used to turn the RAE into Chuck E. Cheese and Munch's Make Believe Band. There has been many additions to the stage through the years, such as Munch's organ getting a custom front, Jasper keeping Beach Bear's guitar (painted red, white and blue), Helen having her cheerleader outfit and yellow hair (it was changed to her normal dress and hair in 2022), Pasqually having a custom bass drum head, as well as adding a tom-tom drum in 2022, Moon being painted white with an American flag on top (Huntsville is known for NASA), Pizzacam, who is also the last one, has a custom mask that is colored black and made of plastic, and Building was removed in 2021, but his spotlight remains functional, as well as the Wink being painted red white and blue. They are also the last 3-Stage in the state of Alabama.
