Chuck E. Cheese is concentrating on current stores instead of opening new ones. CEC caters to kids, which means that their customer base can be finicky. But as long as they remain sensitive to what makes youngsters happy, there will always be those in the target age group who want their birthday parties there. Maintaining their appeal is critical; finding ways to hang onto their aging clientele longer will be a big bonus!
