Legendary Manchester burger bar Archie’s to open all-pink roller rink

Archie’s has announced its latest venture – a hot-pink roller rink, diner and milkshake bar, set to open in Greater Manchester later this year.

Archie’s Atomic will be the legendary burger brand’s groundbreaking new leisure concept, also coming with an arcade area with an immersive gaming platform, private party rooms, and DJ decks.

The new venue at Trafford Palazzo will also, of course, be serving Archie’s legendary smash burgers, shakes, and waffles.

Set to be the largest roller rink in the North West, Archie’s Atomic will span a whopping 25,000 sq ft unit that was previously home to Next, with neighbours including NERF Action Xperience and Sea Life Manchester.

Family-owned Archie’s has invested £3m into the site, ready to reveal its 5,000 sq ft roller rink which will be decorated in the brand’s signature bright pink hues.

Keen skaters of all ages will be welcomed to come for a spin, before kicking back in the dedicated milkshake bar.

Alongside the rink will be a state-of-the-art amusement arcade, and private rooms available to hire.

The full Archie’s menu will be available, including VIP food and drink packages for the private party rooms.

The team behind the business want to recreate the all-American roller rink seen in their favourite childhood film.

Phil Holt, Project Manager at Archie’s, commented: “We’re incredibly excited to bring Archie’s Atomic to Trafford Palazzo. This venue will be unlike anything seen before in the UK.

“Combining our iconic food and décor with a retro roller disco feel, the new venue will be complete with huge LEDs, screens, state of the art arcade games and a vibrant atmosphere.

“We believe this will take the Archie’s brand to the next level and provide an unforgettable experience for our guests.”

Mark Whittaker, Executive Director of Retail and Leisure at Peel, commented: “Archies has been a great success at Trafford Palazzo, and we have no doubt this new concept is going to be received just as positively.

“When you put it alongside the great line-up of experience-led operators such as King Pins, Legoland, and Sealife, you’ve got everything you need for a fun and enjoyable day out at Trafford Palazzo.”

Archie’s Atomic will open its roller rink destination at Trafford Palazzo on Thursday 7 November at 10am, with bookings now live HERE.
