The store opened with the SPT 1988 Remodel Program and Chuck E.’s House. Throughout the 1990s Eastgate would update the store to receive new artwork such as the Parody Awards & Mount Chuckmore. Around this time they would install Phase 1 (1994). In Fall 2005 the store would receive CEC 2005 Remodel Program. During the remodel the Chuck E.’s House would be replaced with Version Three of the Studio C Cappa. With it still being a franchise certain aspects would be retained from its SPT 1988 Remodel Program such as the wood paneling seen by the bathrooms & the wood paneling near Kid Check.
