CEC Entertainment, LLC

CEC Entertainment, LLC, headquartered in Irving, Texas, is a leading provider of family entertainment and dining experiences. The company operates and franchises family dining and entertainment centers under the names Chuck E. Cheese and Peter Piper Pizza. Additionally, CEC Entertainment introduced Pasqually's Pizza & Wings, a virtual kitchen concept, in 2020.

Chuck E. Cheese, established in 1977, is renowned for its combination of arcade games, amusement rides, and musical shows, alongside a menu featuring pizza and other food items. The brand's mission is to create positive, lifelong memories for families through fun, food, and play, embodying the slogan "Where a Kid Can Be a Kid."

Committed to providing a fun, safe environment, Chuck E. Cheese helps protect families through industry-leading programs such as Kid Check. As a strong advocate for its local communities, Chuck E. Cheese has donated more than $19 million to schools through its fundraising programs.

Peter Piper Pizza, acquired by CEC Entertainment in 2014, offers a neighborhood pizzeria feel with a focus on quality food and fun that reconnects family and friends. The venues feature dining, entertainment, and carryout options, with a "pizza made fresh, families made happy" culture.

Pasqually's Pizza & Wings, launched in 2020, operates as a virtual kitchen concept, amplifying classic pizza and wings offerings outside of a traditional restaurant environment. This concept operates out of 400 ghost locations nationwide.
