Chuck E. Cheese’s parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late June, citing the prolonged venue closures stemming from the pandemic for its financial troubles. The chain had $1.91 billion in liabilities on its balance sheet, as of Dec. 29. The company plans to continue operating as it undergoes the bankruptcy process.

In 2014, private equity firm Apollo Global Management bought CEC Entertainment, which also owns Peter Piper Pizza.

Prior to the pandemic, this just accelerated what was already going to come to pass. I really feel for the employees of these businesses and there are not any good answers beyond universal basic income in my opinion.
