Back in the late 90s to early 2000s, there existed what were commonly called "non-standard" Fazbear Locations.
You could find these mostly around Utah and Nevada, but there were a few other locations.

Originally these were locations that had been leased by F.E. to become Freddy restaurants. Now, we all know how protective of its property F.E. is, but with the company essentially going out of business in '93, well... it's not like there were many people to reclaim the hardware!

Some kept the Fazbear branding and decided to keep using those few animatronics and merchandise pieces they could get their hands on.
Ever seen a Toy line animatronic perform with Classics? Or weird, unofficial recolors? OR even very obvious knock-off repairs and design changes?

Well, that means your local Freddy was a non-standard location!

The "new and improved" F.E. would start cracking down on these locations from '04 onward by either issuing lawsuits to send them out of business or by buying the restaurants outright; the recession did the rest.

Now, i'm aware of at least 2, maybe 3, of these non-standard locations that are still operational, but, to protect them, I will NOT share their location. Just know, I've been to one. And it was an experience (you don't get to see a teal-colored Foxy as a lead singer with Bonnie's voice every day, haha).

People who also got blacklisted here, what have you done to deserve this?

I was just pranking other customers, and "tampered with the robots".

c'mon, isn't this a place for fun!? Also, randy brought up my last post here: that's not my fault, that the pizza tastes like crap!

^(Hey, it's Cassidy. Yeah it's been one hell of a BIT and i'm dropping ALL formality since this is more my personal life BUT, after ALL this time, the two animatronics I had purchased from two people on here have at LAST arrived. So, let's go over the quirks;)

^(NEDD BEAR:)
^(Yeah he's just what was said on the tin. Nedd Bear Unit, standard from Stans, but with a module to allow for movement. Tried walking out but, stopped THAT after a bit. Weird not having it with a car battery but, hey, it's interesting.)

^(FREDDY:)
^(This one's more interesting. The hunchback on this man is INCREDIBLE. Surprised his neck is still holding on. Looks to be based on the '83 model, but for another location, which checks out for it's discovery. Has lights in it's eyes, like this sort of 'brand' of animatronics, so that also checks out.)

^(Interesting finds, but yeah. we've been all over the place so activity isn't at the forefront. Woo.)

Hello, I've been doing some more digging on Good Ol' Freddys, like a lot of ya'll here seem to be. (More on me in a later post.), and I think I've found a topic that's been overlooked for quite a while now.

A member of Fazbear Middle Management who just up and vanished. That's the sort of thing that'll only happen with Fazbear Ent.

What happened to Ralph Simms?

Who he was: Ralph Simms was hired at Fredbear's Family Diner shortly after it's Opening, handpicked by Mr. Emily for his Degree in Robotics Engineering. Though he never wore any of the now-controversial Springlock Suits himself, He recorded several instructional tapes on how to wear and operate them. After 83', and the companies rebrand into Fazbear Entertainment, He landed a spot on the Corporate Board of Fazbear's.

This is where things start to get...blurry.

1987 onward: Ralph is known to have recorded instructional tapes for the Nightshift Workers at the short-lived "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza" location of that year. However, The tapes he recorded during this period, and after, were never released to the public.

It is rumored that the last tape he recorded was on the Night he disappeared, as he was covering the Nightshift, though I have no confirmation on that.

So, What happened? How does someone like Ralph just disappear without a trace, or acknowledgement from the Company? Why were the tapes he recorded from 87' onward never released to the Public? Why did Fazbear Ent. file a defamation lawsuit against someone who attempted to LEAK said tapes?

Nothing about how he went missing, or the Companies response to it, makes sense at face value.

Found these pictures in my grandparents attic. Apparently from my first birthday in 2002. This restaurant looks so strange compared to the others.

Like why is it using the ‘87 designs?

Why is foxy on stage with the others?

Why the hell did they let the balloon thing get so close to me?

Where did that Bonnie suit come from and why is it interacting with children so closely? Especially since this is after the MCI?!

This place is now a Chuck E. Cheese. I believe this was one of the few freddy’s locations in Tennessee but you can correct me if I’m wrong. I’ll do some more digging.

I've since managed to "recover" since the incident, relatively speaking, and I was told that this was a place where I could get some answers.
