By 1986, and as a direct result of the Chuck E. Cheese franchise restaurant remodeling and a significantly improved marketing strategy, sales within the company began to increase, and by 1989 the Showbiz Pizza Time franchise company began to trade publicly. In 1992, the Chuck E. Cheese franchise celebrated 28 consecutive quarters worth of positive real estate growth. Between 1990 and 1992 the Chuck E. Cheese franchise celebrated the addition of forty-five new units.

The new president of the Chuck E. Cheese franchise company implemented an aggressive redesign, expansion and remodeling strategy for the entire Chuck E. Cheese franchise company in 1994, and it is this aggressive strategy that is keeping the Chuck E. Cheese franchise company running strong even today. In 1997, the Chuck E. Cheese franchise company celebrated 20 years worth of success, with a strong reputation as a leader in the family food and entertainment industry. In 1998, the parent company for the Chuck E. Cheese franchise, Show Biz, changed its name to CEC Entertainment Incorporated, and switched from the NASDAQ market to the NYSE market. 

By the year 2000, the Chuck E. Cheese franchise had opened its 300th location, and had opened an additional 100 locations within the following three years, making 400 total company owned and franchise locations by 2003. In 2007, the Chuck E. Cheese franchise company celebrated thirty years of increased success, and even today the company continues to lead the pack in the family food and entertainment industry.
