The Last Chuck E. Cheese Animatronic Band Survives, But Not in San Jose
Chuck E. Cheese will be removing the animatronic band from all locations except for one in Northridge, California. The change is part of the company's efforts to modernize its entertainment offerings, including new dance floors, video walls, and popular arcade games. The decision to keep the band in Northridge is a nod to the restaurant's nostalgic significance as one of the first Chuck E. Cheese locations. The Northridge restaurant will become a musical destination with the permanent residency of the animatronic band.
