Just wanna clarify we don't have evidence that Fargo had Klunk or Santa, and I've removed that outdated section from the wiki page. All 100% confirmed stores are currently listed in the ShowBiz Events category for Klunk and Santa, to where its a different set of stores each year.

I've been to this chuck E cheese and during my childhood i lived in fargo. I was talking with my friend and she said "when i looked back in the playground i saw a little kid following me and when she g9t to look back it wasnt there anymore. I've always been obssessed with ghosts and at Chuck E cheese tehre i use to hide behind the tbakes for about 20 minutes but even after i still felt uncomfortable. And the person that walks out in the costume didnt acare me but, on my birthday i had to stand right next to the animatronics and with my brother and older cousin next to me i kind felt comfortable. I have witnessed many of them getting stuck and mouths not closing, the pizza guy scared me more than ever, or even jasper! I havent been there since 2018? 2019?

Chattanooga opened on October 19th, 1982 as the 4th ShowBiz Pizza store in Tennessee (4th after Madison, Knoxville, & Memphis Hickory Hill) with a Rock-afire Explosion show. It was originally a franchised-owned store. They would later end up receiving the 1988 Remodel removing the old Showbiz decor, and adding newer decor. In 1991, Chattanooga received Concept Unification which removed the Rock-Afire for the 3-Stage and removed all Showbiz decor, added new decor, and a change to the exterior. Chattanooga was then bought by the corporate on September 16, 1996 along with 18 other locations. Chattanooga underwent another remodel in the Mid 90's which involved the removal of the Neon Signage, Blue and White Awnings, some checkers around the store and another exterior change. In 2000 or 2001, Chattanooga received the Phase 3 remodel removing older decor, adding newer decor, and SkyTubes. In 2006-2007, Chattanooga received the 2005 Remodel which removed all 1990's store art, Balcony Seating, Showroom Walls, another change to the exterior, adding purple walls, & the 3-Stage was removed for the Studio C Beta. Their road sign was actually interesting as the Phase 3 sign had Chuck E. in a different pose and had the Showbiz Pizza sign mold were kept from their 2000 or 2001 remodel and opening until 2013-2014 when the sign was changed to the Phase 4 sign. In September 2019, Chattanooga received the 2.0 remodel which removed the Beta for the Dance Floor. The store's Grand Reopening would occur in around December 2019. As of January 2023, Chattanooga still has the 2.0 Remodel and Dance Floor.
