Stages
The location opened with a Shelf Show in 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.
Lounge
Due to this location opening in December 1980 and the King debuting in 1981, it is possible that this location originally had The Beagles before receiving The King sometime before 1986.[1][2] 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 December of 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 Initative. 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
The Chuck E. Cheese's and the shopping center were demolished shortly after closure and rebuilt into a Target among other stores.[3]
