Tallahassee opened on April 7, 1992 with a 3-Stage from a SPP location that closed or received a different show. It originally featured the 1988 remodel, which included checkers, blue and white awnings, and red awnings on the exterior. After opening, the location was featured in the Chuck E Cheese Live Show Highlight Film along with 8 other stores (It was the only one in Florida to be featured). In 1994-1996, they received [[Phase 1 (1994)|Phase 1]] of the [[1990s Major Remodel]], which involved removing all elements of the 1988 remodel, removed most of the checkers, changed the logo to Thumb Chuck, removed the "Pizza" lettering on the exterior, and changed the showroom. They would later receive [[Phase 2 (1997)|Phase 2]] and [[Phase 3 (2000)|Phase 3]] game packages in their respective years. On December 29th, 2007; Tallahassee would be bought by CEC Corporate. Tallahassee remained like this until 2015-2017, when they changed the exterior to a standard Phase 5 exterior likely due to wear-and-tear. The exterior was not taken care of according to Street View. As of 2023, Tallahassee remains operational.

Tallahassee's exterior in 2021


2810 Sharer Rd, Store #232/680 is a Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza location that opened on April 7, 1992 with a 3-Stage and is still in operation to this very day.

Up until 2024, this location had not seen a major remodel since the mid-to-late 1990s. Before remodeling, they had a Phase 5 exterior, but they had a Phase 3 exterior inside. Despite having a 3-Stage, this location was not a former Showbiz Pizza, just like Fullerton, CA's store when they opened a year earlier in December 1991.

Stages

Tallahassee was allegedly supposed to open with a Road Stage, however it ended up opening with a 3-Stage. Despite opening with one, this location was never a SPP, as they opened in 1992. Around 1996, Chuck E's mask was replaced with the newer latex mask. At some point in the 2000s, all the characters received plastic masks. Between 2019 and 2021, Chuck E's teeth fell out. By 2023, the stage was in poor condition, as most movements were poorly adjusted and the cosmetics were largely tattered and dirty, with Jasper barely moving apart from his eyes and hands and Pasqually having a hole in his mask right above his right eye.
