Lowell, MA (199 Plain St), Store #457, is a Chuck E. Cheese's location that opened on May 27th, 1993, and is still around today. It is located in the Meadow Brook Center.

History

Lowell opened May 27th, 1993, in Meadow Brook Center, with a 1-Stage. The Show was produced by Kinetix Group Inc. All 5 of the opening day masks were from Corporate's Road Stage, designed by Jul Kamen.

Lowell would be the first 1-Stage to have a blank brick wall for Pasqually, as the other early 1-Stages would feature the "Pasqually's Amateur Hour" Art. Lowell also features minor differences in the cityscape backdrops that were changed for later versions, such as the edges of the far corners of the buildings being all green instead of the standard red that most 1-Stages would receive.

In 2001, Pasqually would receive a new mask. In 2002, Lowell would replace their Side Curtains with Lift Curtains. In the early 2000's, Helen received a new mask. Munch's hat would also be removed as early as 2001. Chuck got the Cool Chuck outfit in 2002. In 2003-2004, the Side to Side Curtains would be replaced with Up and Down Curtains.

Helen later got her third new mask and Chuck got the Avenger cap. Chuck's mask was replaced in January 2012. In May 2012, Lowell removed their Lift Curtains.

In August 2012, Lowell would receive the 2005 Remodel, also known as the 2003 "Cool Chuck" Reconfiguration / Major Remodel Initiative and expand, rebuilding the stage in the process. This also included a major exterior remodel as well. The address would also be changed from 209 Plain St to 199 Plain St. Chuck's khakis went missing for a period at this time, before being placed back on. The Avenger cap was removed in September 2013.

In 2017, Jasper and Pasqually would receive new masks, and Chuck got a new snout and jaw. In April 2018, Lowell would receive stage parts from Newington, New Hampshire, including Helen and Munch's masks, Munch's keyboard front, Pasqually's drum set, and Pasqually's shoes, which would be placed on Jasper. One of Chuck's ears was replaced with a 2005 ear in 2019.

In October 2021, Lowell's original Chuck, Helen, and Jasper top halves would be removed, and replaced with Worcester's top halves. This would mark the next, and possibly final major change to the stage.
