'''''Redwood City, CA (380 Convention Way)''''' (also known as '''''San Mateo''''') was a two-story [[Pizza Time Theatre]] location that opened in August of 1981, and closed in early 1986<ref name="cep2">[https://archive.org/details/the-pizza-times-newsletters/1981%20The%20Pizza%20Times%201-1/page/n1/mode/2up?q=redwood archive.org]</ref><ref name="cep6">[https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/mid-1980s-chuck-e-cheese-pizza-time-theater-animatronics.356457/ forums.arcade-museum.com]</ref>

== History ==

RSKT, Inc., franchisee of the Sunnyvale, CA (1247 W El Camino Real) and Milpitas, CA (346 S Abel St) locations would open Redwood City as their third franchise in August of 1981.<ref name="cep3">[https://archive.org/details/the-pizza-times-newsletters/1982%20The%20Pizza%20Times%202-2/page/n1/mode/2up archive.org]</ref> In Summer of 1982, the location's CEC Mascot would present with Donna Clark, Miss Redwood City of 1982, a proclamation of 'Chuck E. Cheese Day' for the city of Redwood on an uncited day.<ref name="cep4">[https://archive.org/details/the-pizza-times-newsletters/1983%20The%20Pizza%20Times%203-2/page/2/mode/2up?q=redwood archive.org]</ref>

On May 7, 1983, the location would sponsor the ''12th Annual Angel Island Run'' to help raise money for underprivileged children. Over 1,500 participants would run the 4.8-mile race along an island in San Francisco Bay. Multiple corporate members would attend the event:

* Marketing: Pat Saign, Don Schulte
* Finance: Steve Merchant
* Wardrobe: Tine Ahmann
* Graphics: Karen Mitchell

Don Schulte would run the race in a Chuck E. Cheese mascot costume, clocking in at 44 minutes, ahead of most other runners. Other costume characters would greet people on the island, whether in the race or not. A 30-foot inflatable Chuck E. Cheese was set up on a hill in the island, visible to passing sailboats.<ref name="cep5">[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/32795765/redwood-city-auction/ newspapers.com]</ref>

=== Closing ===

The location would hold a closing auction on February 8, 1986, at 10AM.<ref name="cep1">[https://archive.org/details/the-pizza-times-newsletters/1981%20The%20Pizza%20Times%201-2/page/n1/mode/2up?q=redwood archive.org]</ref> The auction would sell 'Video Games, Kiddie Rides, Amusements, Cyberamics System, Like-New Restaurant Equipment'. An unknown buyer would confirm to have bought Chuck E. Cheese, Helen Henny, Pasqually, Munch, heads of Madam Oink, Harmony Howlette, and Dolli Dimples, a Cyberamics Control Center, a box of controller cards, signage, the Clapper Board, and the Band Board. These would later go up for auction again in the 2010's. ''80's Girl / Kobun37'' would get the Chuck E. Cheese Cyberamic, and the rest sent with Damon E. Breland.<ref name="cep2" />
