Back in the Day: The rise, demise of Fairfield’s Chuck E. Cheese
A small silver lining in finding out this week that Fairfield’s Chuck E. Cheese has closed is that after searching for it on Google, I finally discovered that the namesake rodent’s full name is “Charles Entertainment Cheese.” Who knew?
Kim Staton posted a picture of the restaurant’s front in the I Grew Up in Fairfield Too Facebook group and the letters and logo have been taken off the building. I remember hearing last year that the company had to file for bankruptcy and that wasn’t really a surprise with the Covid-19 closures, but once you remove the name from the building, it’s over.
