Citi Trends interior
Citi Trends (13,150 square feet)
4027 West Mercury Boulevard, Hampton Plaza, Hampton, VA
Opened in 2004; originally part of GEX (August 9th, 1962-1977), later Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre (May 1982-1993), Chuck E. Cheese's (1993-May 2002)
Citi Trends did a gut remodel of this space, so there aren't really any CEC remnants to be found. The stockroom may be a different story, but I have no way of knowing since I was denied restroom access back there. This was my childhood CEC in its' post Pizza Time Theatre years. When it was in operation the entry was in the middle of the storefront, with the gameroom split into two sections. The kitchen, salad bar, prize counter, restrooms, and a small alcove with coin-op style rides (allegedly the former King animatronic lounge) were located to the left when looking towards the back of the building. The showroom covered the entire back wall, and of course any traces of it that might still exist would be in Citi Trends' stockroom. The ceiling-mounted Skytubes were mostly situated in the center in front of the showroom entrance.
