History

Chuck E. Cheese's (1991-2020)

Fullerton, California opened its doors on December 17th, 1991, with a 3-Stage converted from a stage that originally came from Creative Engineering Inc.; in the Fullerton Town Center as the second store in Fullerton (It should not be confused with the Pizza Time Theatre that closed a few years before). In around the Mid 1990's, Fullerton would remodel Phase 1 (1994) . Fullerton remodeled to Phase 3 (2000) by 2003. In Spring 2007, Fullerton would remodel to the 2005 Remodel, removing the 3-Stage for a Studio C Beta, 16m and relocated the showroom towards the front of the store. Around this time, the store was infamous for an incident that occurred during Cheesevention 4 in 2007. The crew visited the Fullerton store in May 2007 to see their 3-Stage since it was one of the last 3-Stages in Califronia. However, they were disappointed when they arrived and the Studio C was already installed and the 3-Stage was long gone. The crew was kicked out by staff after filming and asking questions about the remodel which is the reason the store was infamous within the CEC community. The store would remain this way until they would close their doors for the final time on November 17th, 2020, due to COVID-19 Pandemic.

Post Closure (2020-)

After closure, Fullerton would remain vacant for a while until it was taken over by Five Below & a Localhost Internet Cafe, keeping the exterior intact but fully gutting the store's interior. The store's Gemini light was sent to the Orlando (East), FL (449 N Alafaya Trail) location on their Studio C (1997)|Studio C Alpha, but it was removed in April 2023 during their 2.0 remodel. As of August 2023, Five Below & a Localhost Internet Cafe is still in the building.
