BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Parents and kids will soon have a new place to play in North Buffalo.

As first reported by Buffalo Business First, the national chain Chuck E. Cheese plans to open a location at Delaware Consumer Square later this year.

The company will spend $1.55 million to convert several vacant storefronts next to Burlington into its new home, according to Scott Burdett of Rochester-based Flaum Management, which owns the plaza. The shopping center on Delaware Avenue just north of the Kenmore line is already home to Target and Applebee's.

The Buffalo Chuck E. Cheese is expected to open this fall, Burdette said.

The North Buffalo location will be the chain's second in Western New York. Chuck E. Cheese's only remaining local restaurant is on Milestrip Road in Hamburg. A location at Harlem and Sheridan in Amherst closed in 2020, the same year the company declared bankruptcy. The chain is now under new ownership.
