==History==
Manchester opened in August 1982 with a [[Cyberamics Balcony Stage|Balcony Stage]], It is currently the oldest Chuck E. Cheese's location in New England.
===PTT Era===

This store opened in August 1982 with a [[Balcony Stage]], which lasted all the way until around 1991 when the stage was replaced with a [[C-Stage]]. Sadly, there is no documentation of Manchester as a Pizza Time Theatre or Phase 2. Somehow, the old PTT font was used from opening in August 1982 to 2006 when it received the Phase 4 or 2005 Remodel.
Manchester housed the Balcony Stage from 1982 until 1989 when they would receive the 1988 Remodel and convert the Balcony into the [[Chuck E.'s House Facade]]. They also featured The King in the Cabaret Room. It is unknown if Manchester featured other Cabaret/Lounge Acts.
===Phase 2 Remodel===

The remodel occurred around the early 90's probably around 1990. The store got a new exterior and also got the colorful checkers, and also got the new C-Stage. They also got some new 90's decor like Mount Chuckmore and others. At some point in the mid 90's, they would replace the C-Stage with a 2-Stage. They would remain like this until the late 90's.
In 1993, Manchester would receive the 1993 Remodel. They would convert the Chuck E.'s House Facade into a 2-Stage, as well as remove The King.
===Phase 3 Remodel===

Sometime in the late 90's the Phase 3 remodel occurred. Removing the decor from the 1988 Remodel including the Neon Lights & the Blue and White Awnings. They also got some newer decor like the Super Chuck and Andy Warhol Colorful Chuck posters and even got the SkyTubes. They would remain like this until around 2006.
In December 2005, Manchester would receive the [[CEC 2005 Remodel Program]]. The 2-Stage would end up being removed not too long after, being replaced with a [[Studio C 2000 |Studio C Beta, 16M]] in January 2006. Starting with this store, Studio C Beta's and other Studio C's being installed after this would install the fake curtains to save money. After the 2-Stage removal, Pieces of the 2-Stage would end up being parted out to [[Newington, NH (30 Fox Run Rd)]]. The Gameroom and Showroom would end up being relocated for this remodel, as the Studio C would be placed in the former Gameroom at the front of the store, and the Gameroom would be in the former Showroom at the back of the store.
===Phase 4 Remodel===

Around 2006, they would receive the 2005 remodel which removed some of the decor and replaced the 2-Stage for the Studio C Beta 16M. In around 2011, they expanded and moved the Showroom to the back wall. Currently, they still have the 2005 remodel and still have the Studio C Beta.
In Spring 2011, Manchester would receive an expansion. The Showroom would be relocated to the back of the store where it originally was. Also, the bathrooms would be relocated, as well as the entrance.

In Fall 2020, Manchester would remove the Skytubes and Toddler Zone. due to COVID-19.

In Spring 2022, Manchester would replace the Studio C head with Orange, CT's. The original head was destroyed.

On September 19th, 2022, Manchester's Studio C Ceased Programming.

In September 2023, Manchester started its 2.0 remodel. The Studio C Beta stage was removed and replaced with a Dance Floor and Video Wall, making the Dance Floor the only stage type in New Hampshire.


In April 2024, according to Chuck E. Cheese CEO David Mckillips on Instagram, Manchester, along with [[Everett, MA (29 Mystic View Rd)|Everett, MA]], were confirmed to get Trampoline Zones. It is expected to be installed and ready to go by May 4th.
