Rolfies Chicken Shack History (So Far)

In 1950, There were 2 guys named Dalton L. Vice and Jamie R. Brooks, They had an idea to open an restaurant that could also entertain everyone at every age, they went to move from California to Michigan since there was nothing at Michigan and they want to be the number one entertainment spot, Jamie had a idea for a wolf mascot that was based on his son's toys. 

 

in 1966, They opened up a restaurant named "Wolfs BBQ Grill", they had a walk around character, A bar, and sports television, It was popular, Until a company called the "E&E Entertainment" bought the rights in 1975,The owners were left with 65% of the rights but they were still be able to run most of it while E&E deals with finance and advertisements, It was now called "Wolfies Chicken Place", They sell chicken, had arcade games and such, But in 1978, A place called "Joey Dogs Playhouse and Theaters" opened around Waterford Michigan, They had the idea to install animatronics made from E&E Tech, After a month they introduced the animatronics, everything was perfect, until the food poisoning incident on June 5th, 1978, They closed but they made the choice to re brand themselves as "Rolfies Chicken Shack.

On December 1st, 1979, a month before they reopened, Jamie R. Brooks was found dead after there was a fire that happened at his house, His body was recovered but his son, Nolan wasn't found.

On February 5th, Rolfies was open and it became successful, The Animatronics were advanced at the time, But they will become more advanced in 1985, They could move more freely, They had live interactions with inbuilt speakers were the actors could talk into the mic and interact to guest, They had camera's built to there eyes so the people controlling it could see through the robots, along with holding stuff, walking, etc, People loved it, But on September 17, 1985, janitor Andy, Chef Manuel and Manager Avion were found dead in the bathroom at 7:30 in the morning, The cameras were checked and they found what looks like a guy in a Rolfie walk around suit sticking a plunger into Andy's mouth, Bashing Manuel's head on the bathroom stall 47 times and mangling Manager Avions body until he was unrecognizable, There has been theorys that the animatronic was being controlled in the backstage since the being that killed them looks 6 or 7 feet tall and that the backstage, but the backstage had no cameras so there was not that much prove.

2 hours later the building was sent on fire before investigation began, The public think that the murderer has burned it so the Oakland County Police Department would have to close the case early.

in 1998, A new place opened in Great lakes Crossing Outlet called "Rolfies Indoor Theme Park."

It did not go well as it closed 4 weeks after due to bad reception from the public. In the same year, Rolfies Park World Online was debut, Not that much info on it.
