"Orlando / Winter Park, FL (1300 Lee Rd)" was one of three Showbiz Pizza Places located in the Orlando, Florida area.

Though this location was short lived, it is notable for its appearance in promotional material for Showbiz Pizza Place and news coverage.

History

Orlando / Winter Park, FL (1300 Lee Rd) opened on April 27, 1982 as the 63rd Showbiz Pizza store. This store was quite standard, and featured much of the same entertainment, like the Rock-afire Explosion. Aaron and other employees of Creative Engineering Inc. would frequently visit this location whenever a new show was released to obtain feedback from the customers watching the show. It was the nearest Showbiz Pizza to the "47 W Jefferson St" Creative Engineering Building. After just under two years of operation, the store shut down on January 8th, 1984.

Media

Comparatively, this location did not last nearly as long as the other Orlando stores, Orlando, FL (7419 International Dr) and Altamonte Springs, FL (541 W Hwy 436). But, this location continues to live on through memories and the archival of Showbiz Pizza Place material and news spots.

  • The first video(s) this location was seen in was the Creative Engineering/ Showbiz Pizza Place short and long promotional video in 1982. There have been many uploads and archives of this video through the years on the internet, but one in particular that was uploaded on January 17th, 2022 seems to be the highest quality available. There are many clips of Winter Park's Rock-afire, but it is not to be confused with the clips of the programming room in the Creative Engineering building.
