History

The Sharonville, OH SPP opened up October 21, 1981 opening on the border of Sharonville.

The Moonshine Jugs were installed in 1988 with Billy Bob, Fatz, the Rock Afire Sign installed in 1995. For a few years the store was left vacant until 1985 when a night club called "Sneaker's" opened up. The night club then closed in the early 90s with the Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza opening September 8, 1992. [1]

Opening September 8, 1992 the Showbiz Pizza layout was reused with the only changes being the Salad Bar and Beverage Station being pushed towards the order counter. In replacement of the former Salad Bar/Beverage Station was where the Toddler Zone was installed. Also, a kitchen entrance was added to the left of the Toddler Zone. Most likely was created during its time as the night club. The store then remodeled in Summer 2005 when it was one of the first stores in the company to get the 2005 Remodel Package.
