This was due to a mix of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_crash_of_1983 Video Game Crash] and Showbiz having financial issues. The Rock Afire Explosion was eventually sold to Jungle Jim's where in 1995 where parts of the show were strung around the newly expanded part of the store.

On September 8, 1992 the Sharonville, OH Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza would open. The store was one of the first to receive [[SPT 1992 Remodel Program]] and also obtain the [[2-Stage]]. It would retain the layout of the Showbiz Pizza Place but with changes done by Sneakers of Cincinnati such as installing a walkway into the kitchen on the left of was originally the Salad Bar. This would mean the Food Tray would be installed in the kitchen instead of out front for any guest to access. [[Louisville, KY (5743 Preston Hwy)]] would begin showing up on the advertisements despite not being nearby to other locations on said advertisements.

Between 1997 - 1999 they would then receive [[Phase 2 (1997)]] this would be when they'd redesign the prize counter & a new game package.

Lastly between 2000 - 2003 they would receive [[Phase 3 (2000)]] with the Toddler Zone installed next to the kitchen in the former "Toddler Town" section.

In Fall 2005 Sharonville would receive the [[CEC 2005 Remodel Program]] being one of the first in the country to receive the remodel. Due to this the store would keep its dim lighting.

In 2010 Sharonville would receive a minor update to the store replacing all the dim lighting with fluorescent lighting. Addition of several pieces of artwork such as two pieces from the [[CEC Warhol - Quad (CEC Décor)]] set, [["Celebration" (CEC Décor)]] and [["Family" (CEC Décor)]]

The menus, "Good Behavior Guideline" sign, & roll of carpet were quickly trashed.

On October 8, 2019 Sharonville started it's 2.0 remodel with the stage removed on October 30, 2019 for the Dance Floor.


November 30, 2019 would mark another new game package for Sharonville. One of the new rides was [[Chuck E. Cheese's Color Photo Ride (Avenger, 2019)]] which was a manufacturing error leading to brand new Avenger Chuck statues being installed in 2019. When replacing the bathroom doors one of the doors was saved and reused for doors for the control room.<ref>https://youtu.be/eRjHjw41hfE</ref>
Opening September 8, 1992 the store still retained the Showbiz Pizza layout of the past but modified to fit the standards of a 1992 store. that mainly being the Salad Bar and Beverage Station being pushed towards the portion of the store where you order food. In replacement of the former Salad Bar/Beverage Station was the spot where the Toddler Zone was installed. There was also a new entrance next to the Toddler Zone which takes you straight into the kitchen which was most likely added during its days as a night club. The store remained this way until Summer 2005 when it was one of the first stores in the company to get the 2005 Remodel Package. Since it got it so early on over the years parts of the store would change to keep it updated with other Remodel 2005 stores. Such as removing the dim lights in 2010, adding the Pop Chuck posters and two more kid posters between 2005-2011. On June 22nd 2015 Mattie Thompson was robbed at the Chuck E. Cheese's<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsXD_d4y0pA</ref>. Skytubes were removed Spring 2016 along with the signage of the Toddler Zone. On December 8, 2017 the wall behind Chuck was painted green the same way stores that got the 2013 update to 2010 Remodel Package did. With this also removed one of the Avenger logo signs, moved the Toddler Zone playfort to the back wall and carpet put over the square of 90s Toddler Zone carpet. On April 28th 2019 a fight broke out in the parking lot leading to three adults and a child to hospitals<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9y7IpRrxE8</ref>


The Grand Re-Opening would take place on December 12, 2019<ref>https://youtu.be/OGzY4lbWz9M</ref> with the remodel being fully finalized in January 2020. For a brief time in 2020 photos of the exterior pre and post 2.0 were installed on the control room doors. In February 2020 the Train Ride Statue from [[Cincinnati, OH (8801 Colerain Ave)]]<nowiki/>was put as display on the Prize Counter. Then in late 2020 the Tik Tak Chuck statue replaced the Train Ride Statue.<ref>https://youtu.be/eRjHjw41hfE</ref>
Then on October 8, 2019 Sharonville started it's 2.0 remodel the stage was removed October 30, 2019 as stated many times. With the new game package they also received a new color printer version of the photo ride but with Avenger Chuck this was a common manufacturing error with remodels from around 2018-2019. Along with that when replacing the bathroom doors they moved one of the old doors to be used as the entrance for the new control room but they didn't repaint the door so you see clear scars of where the signs once were with dents also in the wood. It's grand reopening happened on December 12, 2019. Despite the grand opening happening the store wasn't finished remodeling until January 2020. For a brief time in 2020 photos of the exterior pre and post 2.0 were installed over the bathroom markings which as of 2021 have been removed. Around February 2020 a small rockstar statue was put as display on the Prize Counter. Then in late 2020 the old TikTok Chuck statue was installed as a display for masks which came from the Colerain location after closing. As of 2022 the store is still the same and doing well and while it lacks a show you should check it out.

November 30, 2019 would mark another new game package for Sharonville. One of the new rides was Chuck E. Cheese's Color Photo Ride (Avenger, 2019) which was a manufacturing error leading to brand new Avenger Chuck statues being installed in 2019. When replacing the bathroom doors one of the doors was saved and reused for doors for the control room.[16]

The Grand Re-Opening would take place on December 12, 2019[17] with the remodel being fully finalized in January 2020. For a brief time in 2020 photos of the exterior pre and post 2.0 were installed on the control room doors. In February 2020 the Train Ride Statue from Cincinnati, OH (8801 Colerain Ave)was put as display on the Prize Counter. Then in late 2020 the Tik Tak Chuck statue replaced the Train Ride Statue.[18]
