8101 Tonelle Ave, Store #485 was a Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza that opened on December 20, 1993 with a 1-Stage, which is still open to this day.
The location started their 2.0 Remodel in October 2022, removing the 1-Stage, along with Edison (which has already removed the stage), East Hanover (also a 1-Stage), and Wayne (Last Road Stage in New Jersey), for a Dance Floor. The Grand Reopening occurred on December 20th, 2022.
Stages
Originally when the store opened, they had the SPT 1992 Remodel Program which included checkers around the store and a 1-Stage show. North Bergen would receive the CEC 2005 Remodel in 2008, however their exterior still included checkers. They would have the 1-Stage for 28 years and 9 months, until October 2022, when they would start the 2.0 Remodel.
North Bergen was one of the several New Jersey stores with Existing Stages to receive the 2.0 remodel at the time. The other stores included Edison, East Hanover, and Wayne. As of March 2024, the Middletown location is the last Existing Stage in New Jersey.
