Chuck E. Cheese’s grown-up-focused arcade opens in first location in California
- Share via
Chuck E. Cheese is all grown-up. Sort of.
Brea Mall is now home to a Chuck’s Arcade, the first location in California and 10th in the U.S. When the company unveiled the concept earlier this year, headlines branded it as a n “adult” Chuck E. Cheese. There’s some truth in that, but it’s not the full story.
Combine the word “adult” and “arcade” and recognizable spaces — say, Dave & Buster’s — instantly come to mind. Here in SoCal, we also have Two Bit Circus in Santa Monica, which marries retro and modern games with beer and cocktails. Chuck’s Arcade isn’t all that similar to either.
