Simi Valley in 2007
71 Tierra Rejada Rd, Store #411 was a Chuck E. Cheese's that opened in October 20, 1980 with a shelf stage, and closed in May 2008.
This location is mostly known as having the second to last location with the "Chuck E.'s House" stage setup, notably being featured in was featured in CheeseVention 4 in 2007.
Stages
The location opened with a Shelf Show in October 1980 then was replaced with Chuck E.'s House most likely in 1990. The setup would also repainted to bright colors and have its original cosmetics replaced at various periods of time. Sometime in the 1990's Munch would receive his sports cap which he had until closure. In the Early 2000's Chuck's outfit was replaced with the Cool Chuck outfit (This was the only Chuck E.'s House to receive this outfit as Rockford had their vest until 2009 when they replaced it with the Avenger Outfit).
The location would have a Dolli Dimples (Cabaret) in the Piano Bar and a Dr. Quack (Cyberamic) in the Cabaret, the currently only known appearance of Dr. Quack at a store.[1]
Due to this location opening in October 20th, 1980 and the King debuting in 1981, it is possible that this location originally had The Beagles before receiving The King sometime before 1986.[2][3] In the 1990s, the location would replace lounge act entirely with the Video Velocitor in the former lounge area.
History
Simi Valley opened as a Pizza Time Theatre in October 20th, 1980, this location would be one of the few locations to make it through the PTT bankruptcy.
Remodels
Simi Valley remodeled for the first time in 1990 as part of the 1986 SPT Remodel Initiative. In the Mid 90's the location remodeled once again, updating every aspect of the establishment, receiving Phase 1 in the process. This remodel would leave the Showroom and Lounge areas untouched.
The only other change the location received before closure were the replacement of several booths.
Closure
In May 2008, the Chuck E. Cheese closed down and well as the rest of the shopping center. Soon after, Chuck E. Cheese and the shopping center it once inhabited were demolished and became a Target.[4] Currently, as of May 2023, Target is still there.
