The location was actually the 28th Pizza Time Theatre to open. The name was changed to Charlie Cheese's Pizza Playhouse, since the word "Chuck" in Australian English means "To throw up". The location was in a entertainment venue called "Grundy's Paradise Centre", which was founded by a man named Roy Grundy, who was apart of the Grundy Organization, a company that did many different things, like making Australian TV shows. The location would remain untouched until it relocated in 1982, making it the very first Chuck E. Cheese location to close down.
