Chuck E. Cheese’s Game Room Now Available at Both MoCo Locations
A few weeks ago, both MoCo Chuck E. Cheese locations reopened for gameplay after over a year of the games not being available due to the pandemic.
For a time, the locations focused on carryout food orders under ghost kitchens that operated through the restaurants- mainly selling Chuck E. Cheese pizza and wings.
Back in June, after over 30 years, Chuck E. Cheese has decided to close its Gaithersburg location. Earlier in 2020, the Wall Street Journal reported that the company was $1 billion in debt, but the company has avoided filing for bankruptcy so far.
The two locations can be found in Rockville/N. Bethesda (5270 Randolph Road) and Takoma Park (1127 University Blvd E).
