A concerned parent contacted KTEN stating that Chuck E. Cheese in Sherman has applied for a permit to sell alcohol.
You might have heard the slogan for Chuck E. Cheese "Where a Kid can be a Kid", and that's what this restaurant is geared towards, kids. But now some local residents are questioning the principles of this company.
Seventy percent of Chuck E. Cheese across America sell alcohol. And now the one in Sherman is asking for a permit to do the same. This leaves many parents wondering why you have to drink when you take your kids to a place which calls itself a magical place for family fun. Chuck E. Cheese Headquarters said its just a convenience for their adult guests, but others would beg to differ.
Carolyn Tapley, a concerned resident, laughed at the thought, "Chuck E. Cheese and alcohol?? (laughs)"
Clift Wood another resident does not think it's a good idea, "I think probably kids are exposed enough without taking them to basically children's places and exposing them to liquor there."
Ashley Earls was shocked, "That's shocking, it's suppose to be a place for children. There's no need for alcohol to be served there. I think that's very wrong."
Chuck E. Cheese released this statement, "It is our experience that our adult guests are very responsible consumers who are concerned about the safety of their children, so it is rare that we experience any issues related to the service of beer and wine."
Chuck E. Cheese wants everyone to know they do not promote the consumption of beer and wine by advertising the products around their facilities and they only serve alcohol by the glass.
