Three African-American families have filed a civil rights
lawsuit accusing children’s restaurant Chuck E. Cheese’s and a former
Indianapolis store manager of mistreating them because they are black.

The lawsuit filed this week in U.S. District Court alleges Ken McGill, who was a
manager at two different stores, refused to serve them, treated them rudely or
forced them to leave while allowing white families to stay.

The suit claims Irving, Texas-based CEC Entertainment Inc., which runs the
chain, failed to investigate McGill’s behavior as the families requested.
The suit seeks damages of at least $500,000.

The Associated Press left a message seeking comment with CEC’s guest
relations office today. McGill could not be reached for comment because
there was no number under his name in published Indianapolis listings.
