After over 30 years Chuck E. Cheese has decided to close its Gaithersburg location. Earlier this year the Wall Street Journal reported that the company was $1 billion in debt, but the company has avoided filing for bankruptcy so far. We are told the Rockville and Takoma Park locations will remain open for carry-out and will be re-opening their arcades this coming Monday.
