West Australian21 hours ago
Iconic fast food favourite Chuck E. Cheese is finally making its way to Australia, with the US brand opening its flagship store in Joondalup.
September 6 will be the first time the American giant opens its doors on Australian soil following years of anticipation.
The vibrant indoor entertainment centre has become notable for having more than 100 video games, interactive play zones, pizzas, hosting countless birthdays, a light up dance floor and of course the mouse mascot.
A multi-storey playground dubbed the Adventure Zone will host a range of options including rock climbing, giant ball pits, massive slides and a ninja warrior style obstacle course.
Brought to WA by Royale Hospitality Group, the team behind Milky Lane and Planet Royale, general manager Christian Beaden said that the whole family should be excited about the opening.
'Perth has a strong culture for family entertainment, so bringing Chuck E. Cheese to Australia is incredibly exciting — we can't wait for families to experience the fun, games and great food that have made it famous around the world,' he said.
'We're all about creating unforgettable family memories, and we know that Aussie kids and parents are going to love it!'
Joondalup was also the first location in WA to receive the US chains Cinnabon last year and was one of the first Aldi locations in 2016.

Bye Bye Baby: Australian music chart-topper Col Joye dies aged 89

Australian music legend Col Joye, famous for his hit single Bye Bye Baby, has died aged 89. The ARIA Hall of Fame inductee, whose career spanned almost 67 years, was the first homegrown rock and roll singer to have a number one record Australia-wide. Joye, known offstage as Colin Frederick Jacobsen AM, had a number of chart successes in the country's early rock scene and achieved fame as the frontman of the Joy Boys. Joye covered Lloyd Price's Stagger Lee as his first release, followed by a string of acclaimed singles including Bye Bye Baby, Rockin' Rollin' Clementine, Oh Yeah Uh Huh and Yes Sir That's My Baby. Oh Yeah Uh Huh, released in 1959, was the first rock song recorded and produced in Australia to become a national number one pop hit. The song takes its beat from a typewriter. The singer played a part in the Bee Gees success, developing and promoting the band after meeting the young performers in Queensland. Joye was born in Sydney on April 13, 1936, and worked as a jewellery salesman before achieving stardom with the Joy Boys. As a regular fixture on Bandstand, Joye cultivated a clean-cut, boy-next-door image. He went on tour with fellow Bandstand acts including Little Pattie, Judy Stone, the De Kroo Brothers and Sandy Scott. Joye and his brother Kevin started businesses, including Glebe's ATA Studios, in entertainment management, publishing and recording.

Aussie music legend Col Joye dies aged 89

Australian music legend Col Joye has died aged 89. Colin Frederick Jacobsen AM - better known as Col Joye - was most famous for his role as the frontman of Col Joye and the Joy Boys, and for his 'discovery' of iconic Australian band the Bee Gees. He was the first Aussie pop star to hit number 1 on local charts with the single 'Bye Bye Baby' in 1959, which he performed with backing vocals from The Sapphires, the first all-female, all-First Nations singing group in Australian history. Joye would go on to rack up another three top 10 hits with the Joy Boys throughout the early 1960s, and went on to open ATA Studios at Glebe in inner Sydney. In 1963, Joye happened across a group of young performers from Redcliffe calling themselves the Bee Gees, who at the time were touring Queensland resorts to make ends meet. After parting ways with the group - who would of course go on to achieve international fame - Joye continued to make music, and even performed alongside Little Pattie for troops stationed in Vietnam in 1966. As he performed at the Australian base in Nui Dat, the infamous Battle of Long Tan began less than 10km away. Joye produced his final hit - a country record called 'Heaven is my Woman's Love' in 1973. Despite suffering numerous injuries in 1990 after falling six metres while pruning a neighbour's tree, Joye recovered and continued touring in 1998. In his retirement, Joye donated more than 1200 items to the National Film and Sound Archive. More to come. Originally published as Aussie music legend Col Joye dies aged 89
