As of current all that remains from its 1993 remodel is the 2-Stage and the Shelves which had the Chuck E. Cheese statues removed a few months prior.

Although originally planned to keep more of the 90s artwork, due to lack of discussion between CEC Entertainment, LLC & The Supervisor of the remodel these plans were dropped and all old artwork was either destroyed or sent to [[Showbiz Pizza Time Distribution Center (Topeka, KS)]]. Currently all that remains from the 1993 remodel are the 2-Stage and the Shelves, which had the Chuck E. Cheese statues removed a few months prior.


CEC would announce in October of 2023 that Northridge would now be the [[Munch's Make Believe Band Residency]], and that the [[2023 Northridge Grand Reopening Party]] would be held on November 10th. Nolan Bushnell and David McKillips would attend the event to very light news coverage and guests hitting the maximum capacity of the store.
=== Grand Re-Opening Event ===
On October 12, 2023, CEC Entertainment would send a letter to Logan Carreiro, a kid who had previously petitioned for the company to save its animatronics and had made headlines previously in the year, for an invitation to the store's grand re-opening. He will be flown with all expenses paid to the event to be named the honorary title "Chuck E. Cheese Chief Animatronic Officer".<ref name=":0">[[:File:CAO citation.png]]</ref>

The letter also stated that Northridge would be the "animatronic team's new permanent home", being the first official statement given on Northridge's remodel keeping the animatronics. This would imply CEC would be using the remodel and Logan's honorary title as a PR move to combat the controversy of removing animatronics in the [[CEC 2018 2.0 Remodel Program]].<ref name=":0" />

On that same day, Donovan Marcelle, programmer for CEC Corporate, would hold a livestream programming an unknown show segment. This was despite just a month earlier confirming that all showtape programming was to cease due to budget cuts. In this, they would pin a message in the livestream chat saying "Programming something special..... but what???!!". This hints toward the possibility of the new programming being for the event, but has not been confirmed officially.<ref>[[:File:Donovanspecialprogram.png]]</ref>

On October 14th it would be confirmed by Logan that the grand re-opening event would be taking place on November 10th.<ref>[[:File:November10thconfirmationcitation.png]]</ref>

==== Chuck E. Cheese LIVE Announcement ====
[[File:Livevideoannouncementchuck.png|thumb|267x267px|Viewing of the Northridge stage during the "Live Announcement" video on November 2nd.]]
On October 25th, 2023, CEC would start a livestream and subsequent Facebook Event for a "Chuck E. Cheese LIVE Announcement". Its description stated "Chuck E. Cheese has big news to share with fans young and old.".

The livestream would start on many platforms, having the characters announce the new plans for the location to become the permanent residency for animatronic characters. A PopVerse article would also report with more statements and pictures. The livestreams itself however had multiple issues with being muted and starting in the middle of the announcement.

==== Reopening Event Party ====
The party would start on November 10th at 4pm on as a media preview event lasting until 6pm. From 6pm to 8pm the public is allowed in the restaurant. The media preview will feature Nolan Bushnell and David McKillips to discuss the legacy and future of the company.

The public event would be confirmed to start with the animatronics performing with their exclusive location-specific showtape <ref name=":3">https://www.thepopverse.com/chuck-e-cheese-five-nights-at-freddys-freddy-munchs-munch-s-make-believe-band-returns</ref> Visitors will get free cake and a poster upon visiting, alongside having chances to win prizes such as a free Chuck E. Cheese birthday party or a VIP play band loaded with one full year of unlimited All You Can Play time. If visiting the event with any Chuck E. Cheese tokens, they can be traded in for an exclusive commemorative pin. The first 25 families to enter will get 1 free hour at the arcade.

During the event's press release, the previously stated "Chief Animatronic Officer" Logan would instead be set to be crowned "Chief Entertainment Officer for the day".

Exterior in November 2023. (PC: Side Eye Cat)


Northridge, CA (8425 Reseda Blvd, Store #451) was a Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre that opened in September 1981[1] with Cyberamics, which is still open to this day.

The location is officially deemed the Munch's Make Believe Band Residency, with plans for it to be a permanent home for its 2-Stage and "all legacy Chuck E. Cheese nostalgia"[2]. The Store was originally going to be the permanent home of CEC animatronics, but in March 2024, CEC went back on this[3].

Stages

Originally when the store opened, they had a Balcony Stage, as all other Pizza Time Theatres had. They would have the Balcony Stage for several years, until the late 80's or early 90's, when they would convert to Chuck E.'s House Facade, they would have it for a very short time, when in 1993, they would convert to a 2-Stage. Only major cosmetical changes to happen prior to 2011 was the replacement of the tuxedo with Cool Chuck sometime during the 2000s. In 2011, the Lancaster, CA (44650 Valley Central Way) location would relocate and with that, all of their animatronics would be sent to Northridge to replace their original 1981 PTT Cyberamics. They now have 1990s Cyberamics which are much sturdier than the originals and having cosmetics in much better shape. Despite Northridge getting the 2.0 remodel the stage's TV would be replaced by August 15th, 2023 and was also kept to become the "permanent home of the Chuck E. Cheese animatronic gang". Chuck E's outfit would be replaced with the Rockstar shirt on October 26th the same year, followed by the stage receiving lift curtains from the Huntington Beach location on November 5th.

History

1981-1992

Opened in September 1981 as a Pizza Time Theatre with a Balcony Stage. As lounge and cabaret acts they would receive The King and Dolli Dimples, opening with Harmony Howlette. In the late 80s they would receive the SPT 1988 Remodel Program removing the remains of Pizza Time Theatre.

1993-2023

In 1993 Northridge would receive the SPT 1992 Remodel Program which would renovate the restaurant bringing in the shelves, balcony, records and more! Around this time they would also receive the 2-Stage. The store would remain untouched with only minor changes such as receiving carpet from the CEC 2010 Update Program and installed a Salad Bar poster from the CEC 2005 Remodel Program.

2.0 Remodel

On July 25, 2023 Northridge would start its 2.0 Remodel. It was originally intended to become a standard 2.0 according to blueprints. But last minute plans changed, and it became the first Chuck E. Cheese Legacy Location. Although originally planned to keep more of the 90s artwork, due to lack of discussion between CEC Entertainment, LLC & The Supervisor of the remodel these plans were dropped and all old artwork was either destroyed or sent to Showbiz Pizza Time Distribution Center (Topeka, KS). Currently all that remains from the 1993 remodel are the 2-Stage and the Shelves, which had the Chuck E. Cheese statues removed a few months prior.

CEC would announce in October of 2023 that Northridge would now be the Munch's Make Believe Band Residency, and that the 2023 Northridge Grand Reopening Party would be held on November 10th. Nolan Bushnell and David McKillips would attend the event to very light news coverage and guests hitting the maximum capacity of the store.
