Little Rock Chuck E. Cheese in ~2013.

10901 N Rodney Parham Road was a Chuck E. Cheese's located in Little Rock, Arkansas.

This store began as a Showbiz, and even after its conversion into a Chuck E. Cheese, it kept many of its Showbiz elements. It is one of few post-Showbiz stores to have kept the wood paneled walls bordering the 3-stage, all the way up to its closure; giving it a distinct look.

Stages

This location had a 3-stage that began as a Rock-Afire Explosion. Sometime in the 90s, the stage was converted into a Munch's Make Believe Band, complete with all of the characters including extras such as Building, Moon, Wink, Pizzacam, and possibly even Munch Jr. Pizzacam was only present for a short time, and was likely removed sometime in the early 2000s. After Concept Unification in the 90s, all of the characters had latex masks, and Chuck E. wore his signature black tuxedo and red derby hat. The latex masks were all replaced by plastic masks pre-2003. In the 2000s, Chuck E.'s tux and derby were replaced by a red cap with a black 'C', a blue shirt with a yellow 'C', and khaki shorts (Cool Chuck outfit). The stage had working curtains up until curtains were no longer programmed. The Munch's Make Believe Band sign was not constantly present, nor was Jasper's hat.
