The owner of Showbiz was a co-owner of Pizzatime Theater, they had a falling out and separation and the guy went out and did Showbiz Pizza place to compete against them, it lasted from 1980 to 1992 or so as that.</p><p><br /></p><p>interesting fact, Chuck E Cheese is a distant creation of an Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell. Bushnell got Atari to get the first location rolling, ended up leaving Atari and buying the store off them and then got co investors for the Pizzatime Theater franchise platform. This is where the Showbiz owner Brock comes on board, eventually separates to make Showbiz, and in 1984 Pizzatime Theater goes bankrupt and all assets purchased by Showbiz and both chains run as they were with Showbiz owning them. </p><p><br /></p><p>in 1992 all locations rebranded to Chuck E.
