Chuck E. Cheese launches Chuck's Arcade. No pizza. Just lots of games
Briefly

Chuck E. Cheese has opened 10 locations of Chuck's Arcade across eight states, aimed at appealing to older teens and adults. The new venture emphasizes classic video games and claw machines, omitting pizza and mascots. This initiative seeks to evoke nostalgia among older audiences while providing an environment for social gaming. Locations feature retro games such as Ms. Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, overseen by animatronic characters. Chuck's Arcade complements existing Chuck E. Cheese locations rather than replacing them, marking a strategic move to capture adult interests.
The arcade was created for adults and lifelong fans who grew up surrounded by the electric glow of arcade screens, the symphony of digital soundtracks and the thrill of chasing high scores with friends long into the night.
Chuck's Arcade is a modern-day love letter to the games and people who made Chuck E. Cheese great.
There are currently 10 Chuck's Arcade locations in eight states, generally in major malls.
Among the locations are St. Petersburg, Florida; Trumbull, Connecticut; Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma; Victor, New York; Buford, Georgia; El Paso, Texas; Nashua and Salem, New Hampshire; and St. Louis.
