Greece, NY (3130 W Ridge Rd) (also known as Rochester), Store #517, is a corporate-owned Chuck E. Cheese's located within Lowe's Plaza that opened on July 5, 2003, with a Studio C Beta and remains open with a Dance Floor and Video Wall. This location should not be confused with Greece, NY (3160 W Ridge Rd), which was a Pizza Time Theatre that opened on March 15, 1983, with a Balcony Stage and closed in November 1996 with a 2-Stage. It also should not be confused with Henrietta, NY (1000 Hylan Dr), which was a Chuck E. Cheese's that opened on June 30, 2001, with a Studio C Alpha and closed on June 25, 2020, and was also occasionally known as "Rochester."

History

The Greece Chuck E. Cheese's opened on July 5, 2003, with Phase 3 (2000) and a Studio C Beta with a Chuck E. Cheese 16m (Animatronic). The store opened in the same plaza where the original Greece location was located. Not long after opening, the store received the CEC 2000's Remodel Program. The store would remain like this until October 3, 2018, when it would receive the CEC 2.0 Remodel Program, which removed the Studio C Beta and its 16m bot and replaced it with a Chuck E. Live Stage (Dance Floor). This store was the third to receive the 2.0 remodel in New York and one of the first twelve stores in the chain to do so. Greece received a Jumbo Video Wall in 2021. In 2024, it received the Trampoline Zone.

Present Day

The Greece store remains open with the 2.0 remodel. Since the closure of Henrietta, it is currently the only Chuck E. Cheese's in the Rochester area.
