Chuck E. Cheese could be going bankrupt and closing soon

Back in the mid/late 1980's I used to love going to Chuck E. Cheese.

No wonder they were desperate enough to rename their stores on UberEats so people would confuse them for a local restaurant.

They should have saved for a rainy day and skipped their morning coffee.

I always preferred Showbiz. Mostly cause back in the 80s Showbiz had a much larger arcade section.

Last time I was in a Chuckie Cheese it was like 99% ticket machines and then one arcade machine.

They are 900 million in debt. How does a pizza chain get so much debt? Another leveraged buyout by a private equity firm. Just like Toys R Us, Neiman Marcus, etc. Now it will be stripped for parts and all the little people lose their jobs.

I'm gonna be honest and say I thought they went bankrupt years ago.

Also trying hard to not make a FNAF joke.

Because most wealth is just a shadow game.

I mean, I guess it's better for neighboring buildings than the old "burn it down and collect the insurance money" closure scheme, but at least with that approach, everyone had to pretend it was an accident and there was a chance the crooks might get caught once in a while.

Damn I have a 2 year old and wanted to get a pencil drawing picture together.

Never been a Chuck E. Cheese fan. Pizza was shit and then they phased out too many of the good arcade games for lame stuff.

Discovery Zone, your time is now!

How the heck is a Kids Pizza Parlor almost a billion dollars in debt?

I’m going to try and get one of their shitty pizzas before they close.

They did, but they invested only in skeeball tickets. They have 1,000,000 tickets which is enough for a spider ring, princess comb, or a crap styrofoam airplane.

I’ve never figured out who, but Matt Groening said that an artist told him his deepest secret is he performed all the music for the Chuck E. Cheese Band.
