History

Mesa (West) opened on August 30th, 1984 as a corporate-owned location. Mesa (West) opened with the Rock-Afire Explosion and a very weird exterior. In the Late 80's, Mesa (West) received a change to the Billy Bob stage. In 1990, Mesa (West) received Concept Unification and the 1988 Remodel including the removal of the SPP decor for CU decor, the ball pit, the Blue and White awnings, the checkers around the store, the renaming of the restaurant, and the conversion of the Rock-Afire Explosion for the 3-Stage. Around 1998, They replaced the logo with Coach Chuck and removed older 90's decor for newer decor, the Blue and White awnings, some checkers around the store, the removal of the ball pit for SkyTubes, and the removal of the 3-Stage for the Studio C Alpha. Mesa (West) remained like this until in 2009-2010, when they received the 2005 remodel (Phase 4) which involved the removal of the showroom walls, removing older decor for newer decor, new booths, relocating the stage, & adding purple walls. Strangely, after it received the 2005 remodel but before closure, the logos next to the Phase 4 logo were not changed. Mesa (West) remained like this until August 24th, 2015 when the location would close after 31 years in operation. It's unknown why Mesa (West) closed but a theory suggests a lease disagreement, or loss of business. After closure, it remained abandoned with all CEC remnants inside until in 2016 when it was repainted and all CEC Remnants (except for the showroom without the Studio C animatronics and awnings on the exterior) were removed. In 2019, the location became a pet store known as "Pratt's Pets". Currently, as of March 2023, the pet store is still here to this day.

Stages

Originally, when the store opened, the location had a Rock-Afire Explosion stage.
