History

Showbiz Pizza (August 1986 - 1991/1992)

The Lynwood, WA store opened in August of 1986 after the closure of the original store with a Rock-afire Explosion stage. Unfortunately, information on Lynwood's Showbiz Pizza is scarce, but they might have received the Showbiz Pizza Campground Update in the late '80s.

Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza (1991/1992 - Late '90s)

In 1991/1992, Lynwood fell to Concept Unification, which involved (if they didn't get the 1988 remodel) removing all traces of Showbiz Pizza, that means painting most of the walls white, refurbishing the counters, removing Showbiz decorations for Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza decorations, and removing the Rock-afire Explosion in favor of the 3-Stage. According to some footage tracing from 1995, the bots weren't maintained often.

Chuck E. Cheese's era and the 1993 remodel (Late '90s - today)

Lynwood remained like this until the late '90s, when they received the 1993 remodel. This included removing all traces of the 1988 remodel, removing older decor for new decor, changing the exterior, refurbished the showroom, likely covered up the windows in the showroom, and refurbished the counter areas. In 2000, because the store's bots were so far into disrepair, the CEI bots were removed/destroyed, and replaced them with Cyberamic bots, which were from the old Spokane store. As of June 2023, Lynwood still has the 1993 remodel, along with some Phase 3 and 2005 remodel posters, and the Cyberamic 3-Stage.

  • This was also the first location to use a Phase 3 Backwards Chuck sign.
