History
1980s
On February 10th, 1982 Showbiz opens with at the time popular arcade games like Mrs. Pac-Man, they would regularly run Newspaper ads to offer free tokens and coupons
Unfortunately, there aren't many known pictures or videos of this location in the 80s.
Concept Unification and Brian Hagan
In May 1991, The Rock-A-Fire Explosion is retrofitted into Munch's Make Believe Band. Antioch's mech was confirmed to have survived after CU, Billy Bob most likely being used for parts.
In 1993, Brian Hagan is hired as a new tech and gives the entire 3-Stage stage a make over for a few Holidays and to fit the theme of Shows. Even going far as to create custom posters to put in the display boxes outside of the store. This garnered the attention from people at Corporate Office, hiring him at some point.
The location received another remodel by April 1996 with record posters, planters, and rainbow lights. The "Crocodile Chuckee" poster from the previous remodel was briefly hung on stage right for the playroom stage.
Around late 1998 - 1999, the show was converted back to a standard CU 3 stage. The backdrops were outsourced from SPT, the store's originals having been thrown away rather than stored.
A Fourth Remodel & More
Sometime after 2005, this store received the next remodel with purple walls and new signage.
In 2013, Mobile had an expansion; completely redoing the entrance and frontal area, moving the salad bar, and even updating some of the characters.
Toward the end of the show's life, the cyberstar computer blew out, not getting fixed until the 2.0 remodel, which took place in late October 2019.
