Chico California.

For those of you wondering, no they are not animatronic anymore. If you wanted to reproduce this show, here are the characters they are now using.

That store (now) sucks. Looks so generic and has a definate CEC look still. Heck, most of the stage is still there plus the counters AND Salad Bar sign!

[CECFizzeh]

Wow, It still looks so much like CEC but a cheaper version.. That sucks. :(

[PaulKTF]

I know they're probably on a tight budget, but that is so very tacky of them. Just put up a big screen TV on the stage.

[CEC3066]

if the characters arn't animated anymore, i'm surprised the owner didn't move them to the CEC he still owns in Redding,CA & save them for backups.

[pizzacam]

Big screen TV? lol If they were smart they'd just save themselves the money/embarrassment and shut down now. Every time these knock offs try to make it they end up failing in the end and wasted god knows HOW much trying to make it for like 6 months.

Yeah; but it would at least give people a reason to focus on the stage whille eating instead of ignoring the ugly crap they have up there.

[ChuckEFranchize454]

Jeez have a guy scared dont ya!

For the record when were talking about locations heres little key that I think we should start using

Franchize = Matt "The Franchize"

Franchise = A location owned by a Franchise CEC

For a moment I thought I was lost :))...nyways on to the topic at hand. Sad to see a location turn into something like this. Shame to see the remaning charcters turned into crap!

[captslappy]

Hmmm... replacing the characters with a big screen TV. HEY! I'm going to go do that for CV8!

[Harmony Howlette]

This is hilarious!

Hell; CEC is practically doing it with Studio C anyway...

[rolfedewolfe]

I would have gone a different route here. A kids karaoke setup (similar to the blue screen deal that some CECs have now) with some cameras and TV screens would have been an inexpensive alternative to robots, not to mention the fact that it might actually spark some interest. Even better - if the parents could somehow purchase a copy of their kid singing with their friends at their birthday party.

[cec080]

i wonder how much they charge for birthday parties???

[menutia]

Let's buy those costumes and show up at the store! That could be a LOT of fun.

[PaulKTF]

*snicker* Sneak up on stage when nobody's in the room, and stay very still... then "come to life" and jam... That'd be a riot!

What stage set up was this when it was a CEC?

That's true! :))

[CECFizzeh]

LOL, I would never buy those crappy costumes.

[bzier]

That looks horrible. I'm sorry, but 'statues' just standing up on a stage is creepy. It's in no way cool, and the characters aren't unique looking at all. What a waste of time and money. I'm curious what happened to the other two bots that used to be up there...

[captslappy]

bumping this up.

[PaulKTF]

Even a broken down RAE would be better than that.
