16090 S Harlem Ave, Store #58 was a Showbiz Pizza that opened on January 31, 1989, with Chuck E.'s House, which is still open to this day as a Chuck E. Cheese.

History

Tinley Park opened on January 31, 1989 as a merger store with one of three Rocker Stages in Illinois, the other two being in Rockford & Streamwood with the 1988 Remodel. They would remain this way until the around 1994 when they did their first remodel which involved the conversion from Chuck E.’s House to 2-Stage & the addition of 1990's store art (Removing elements from the 1988 Remodel such as The Blue & White Awnings, checkers around the store, & neon lights). When they got the 2-Stage, they replaced Chuck's outfit with the Tuxedo & Derby, and replaced Helen’s mask. In between 1999-2002, Tinley Park expanded the right side of the game room to make room for more games. Pasqually got a new mask in 2000 and Helen in 2002. In the Early-Mid 2000's, Chuck's outfit was replaced with the Cool Chuck outfit. Around this time, Jasper's PTT mask would be replaced with a new one as well. They would then remodel again to the 2005 Update of the 2003 "Cool Chuck" Reconfiguration / Major Remodel Initiative in around 2006-2007 which involved removing all 1990's store art, Balcony Seating, Showroom Walls, & adding purple walls. In April-May 2012, Tinley Park was to expand the front of the store which added a new facade, bigger windows, & even more floor space for games. In September 2022, Tinley would receive Chuck’s head, mask, two valve boards, and Pasqually’s mask from Chicago, IL (1830 W Fullerton Ave) after they removed their stage for 2.0. Originally Chuck E was going to receive the full Avenger outfit from Fullerton but in the end Chuck E kept the Cool Chuck outfit. Sometime in August 2023, the big CRT TV was replaced by a flat screen TV. In November 2023, Tinley Park's refresh remodel would begin, with the stage being removed on November 26, 2023^[1]. As of November 2023, Tinley Park is still undergoing the 2.0 Remodel.
