677
Chuck E. Cheese’s own website does not support 677 locations. Its official FAQ gives about 561 locations as of August 2025, and its franchising site says 570+ worldwide.
Full reasoning
Chuck E. Cheese’s official location FAQ says that as of August 2025 the company had approximately 465 company-owned U.S./Canada locations plus 96 franchised locations across 16 countries. That totals about 561 locations, not 677.
Separately, the company’s official franchising site says Chuck E. Cheese has “570+ locations in 16 countries & territories.” That is still well below 677.
Because these are the company’s own pages describing its footprint, they are stronger evidence for the current location count than the unsourced infobox number. The figure 677 appears to overstate the number of Chuck E. Cheese locations.

As of July 2025, ten Chuck's Arcade locations were opened in malls across the United States.
This date/count is off. Chuck E. Cheese said on August 18, 2025 that Brea Mall would open its 10th Chuck’s Arcade on August 22, so there were not already ten open in July 2025.
Full reasoning
Chuck E. Cheese’s own press release dated August 18, 2025 states that the Brea Mall location “will open its 10th Chuck’s Arcade™ on Friday, Aug. 22.”
That creates a direct timeline conflict with the article’s claim. If the 10th Chuck’s Arcade had not opened until August 22, 2025, then there could not already have been ten open as of July 2025.
This is not a matter of interpretation—the company’s official announcement explicitly places the 10th opening in late August, not July.

the first new international location would open in Lo Barnechea, Santiago, Chile.
Chuck E. Cheese’s own history pages say its first international location opened in Guatemala City in 1986, so the 1994 Chile site was not the first new international location.
Full reasoning
Chuck E. Cheese’s official history page lists 1986 as the year its first international location opened, stating that the brand expanded to Guatemala City that year. The company’s FAQ repeats the same point, saying the first international location opened in Guatemala City in 1986.
Because 1986 Guatemala City predates 1994 Lo Barnechea, Santiago, the Chile opening cannot accurately be described as the first new international location after ShowBiz Pizza Time was formed.
