7456 West Colonial Dr, Store #719 also known as West Orlando is a Chuck E. Cheese that opened in November 12, 1998 as a corporate location with a Studio C Alpha and is still open to this day.

It is located right across from the Highland Lakes Center Mall.

History

Orlando (West) opened on November 12th, 1998 as a corporate-owned location. Orlando (West) opened with the Studio C Alpha stage and also featured, some checkers around the store, and some late 90's decor, Toddler Zone, and SkyTubes. Orlando (West) remained like this until in 2006-2007, when they received the 2005 update to the 2003 "Cool Chuck" Reconfiguration / Major Remodel Initiative which involved the removal of the showroom walls, removing older decor for newer decor, & adding purple walls. In around the Mid-Late 2010's, the purple and red awnings were removed from the building. Sometime in 2021, Chuck's head was replaced with the head from the 7419 International Dr location after they got the 2.0 Remodel. On April 17th, 2023, West Orlando would start their 2.0 Remodel which involves the removal of the Studio C Alpha for a 2021 Model Dance Floor & Video Wall; making all Orlando stores botless, a day after East Orlando removed theirs a day earlier. The store's Grand Reopening will be scheduled for May 18th, 2023; just a day after East Orlando's Grand Reopening which will be on CEC's 46th Anniversary.

Originally, when the store opened, the location had a Studio C Alpha stage like every other store opening at the time until it was removed on April 17th, 2023 for a 2021 Model Dance Floor & Video Wall.
