On May 19, Chuck E. Cheese’s hosted the "Biggest Birthday Ever" where more than 8,544 (the final results are still being tallied) people from 550 Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurants across the U.S. and Canada, including the one inside of Grapevine Mills, came together to celebrate the business's 40th anniversary and set the Guinness World Records title for the most people blowing party blowers simultaneously (multiple venues). Chuck E. Cheese’s passed out more than 120,000 pieces of birthday cake, tickets and birthday party blowers to commemorate the occasion. In honor of its anniversary, the children's gaming chain is also partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to give 40 parties for Make-A-Wish children, a VIP birthday party sweepstakes for 40 days and give away free tickets. Chuck E. Cheese's was founded in May 1977 in San Jose, California.
