Founded by video-game pioneer Nolan Bushnell in 1977, the chain originally opened as “Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre” in San Jose, California, combining pizza dining with arcade games and animatronic entertainment in one of the early family-entertainment-center formats. Over time it merged with its chief competitor ShowBiz Pizza Place and rebranded under the Chuck E. Cheese name, evolving its image and concept along the way. The brand has become synonymous with kids' birthday parties, arcade tokens, and marrying dining with play.
