Making a rat the mascot of a restaurant chain. The boldness. The HUBRIS.

A simpler age where we had confluence of delicious pizza and a vague warning about restaurant cleanliness

Truth in marketing, plausible deniability, and Donkey Kong.....puts a lump in my throat.

This is justice for changing the name from Showbiz Pizza and getting rid of the Rockafire Band.

I came upon a similar situation in downtown St. Paul a while ago. It couldn't have been a theft charge due to the guy not being able to grab anything with those short arms. 1000013272.jpg

As I recall, it wasn't a simple name change but a merger. One of the CEC founders went off on his own and launched Showbiz. Then they later merged and unified everything as CEC.
I don't really remember the history, I just know the one I use to go to in Des Moines as a kid was called Showbiz and now its Chuck E. Cheese. I think it's even been in the same location the whole time, right off the interstate on 22nd, which is kind of crazy.
