the fun Zone

Stanley’s Fun Zone is located in Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois, on 7th Street. The owner, Trevor, built the Fun Zone to include every game, ride, and indoor activity imaginable, all for just $10. The place offers fresh food, top?tier games, and advanced animatronics. Before Stanley’s Fun Zone existed, there was another animatronic restaurant called Mark & Charles’ Pizza and Friends. It closed in 1985 because of competition. When Trevor took over the property, he had the police hold the old animatronics for testing with audiences and critics while he worked on creating new animatronics throughout the 1990s. The Fun Zone officially opened in 1990. But in 2009, a pair of criminals robbed the building and set it on fire to hide their fingerprints. Their lies scared people away, and attendance dropped. Eventually, the Mayor of Chicago convinced Trevor to reopen under a new name: Stanley’s Fun Zone and Friends — replacing the old pizza theme with a full Fun Zone identity. The old animatronics from Mark & Charles’ Pizza weren’t advanced and were damaged, but thanks to Trevor’s habit of saving everything, he kept them stored in a special room next to the Fun Zone. Unfortunately, Trevor faced new competition. The new CEO of Chuck E. Cheese tried to outshine him, though that company eventually struggled due to decisions made by older executives from the 1990s. Another rival appeared: Galaxy Size Entertainment, run by a school bully named Jake Sterling, his father Mr. Sterling, and their entire family. Their mission was to either: 1. Shut Trevor down and demolish Stanley’s Fun Zone, or 2. Buy it cheaply, destroy the animatronics, raise prices, and turn it into a generic entertainment complex
