You don't need to have ever stepped foot in a Chuck E. Cheese's in your life to know what the iconic business is all about, or that it has been revived since its parent company, CEC Entertainment, filed for bankruptcy over the pandemic.The chain of mechanical rat pizza and child casinos, in the words of online jokesters, is actually doing quite phenomenally, all things considered: it saw a $288 million jump in revenue from 2019 to 2023, remains a common subject of cultural reference 48 years after its founding, and still boasts a whopping 482 locations across the U.S. and Canada.Even though only 11 of these are north of the border, one local outpost of the kids' party place is allegedly on track to achieve legendary status, reserved for only a handful of Chuck E.
