Team Play Inc Is Chuck E Cheeses Vendor Of The Year

IRVING, TX -- Team Play Inc. won Chuck E. Cheese's prestigious Vendor of the Year award, which honored the manufacturer's Fishbowl Frenzy redemption game and Fun Stop photobooth. The award was presented to Team Play during the pizza-arcade chain's annual partners meeting, held recently in Texas.

Vendors who win this award must meet stringent criteria related to quality, reliability, pricing and service, Team Play noted. "Meeting all of the criteria and beating out other strong competitors is truly the sign of great product," said Team Play chief executive Ed Pellegrini, who thanked Tom Ward and Paul Teneyuca, both senior-level managers at CEC Entertainment Inc., Chuck E. Cheese's parent. "Without their vision and guidance we would not have achieved this fantastic award."

There are almost 600 Chuck E. Cheese's family entertainment centers and restaurants, mostly in the U.S.

Fishbowl Frenzy and Fun Stop Photos will be in booth No. 2000 at the upcoming IAAPA Attractions Expo, Nov. 17-20 in Orlando, FL.
