The beloved family-owned burger joint famed for its “shakes, ridiculously indulgent waffles and fresh handmade smashed star burgers”, has announced that its groundbreaking leisure concept, Archie’s Atomic, is set to open this autumn at Trafford Palazzo.

Archie’s is aiming to shake up the experiential hospitality sector in Manchester and beyond with the introduction of the North West’s largest roller rink. The venue will also feature an arcade area with an immersive games box, private party rooms, DJ decks, an Archie’s diner and Archie’s milkshake bar.

Archie’s Atomic, located in Trafford Palazzo in the former NEXT site, next to NERF Action Xperience and SEA LIFE Manchester, has invested £3M into the site and will occupy a whopping 25,000sq ft space. The star attraction of this next-gen experience is a spectacular 5,000sq ft roller rink, designed to welcome skaters of all ages and skill levels whether a newbie or a pro on wheels!

The roller rink venue will blend Archie’s signature bright pink branding with a sleek, industrial design. Alongside the rink will be a state-of-the-art amusement arcade, private rooms available to hire and a dedicated milkshake bar offering Archie’s famous milkshakes and ice cream. Sip and skate – what could be better?

Feeling peckish after a few laps? Guests can look forward to enjoying the full Archie’s menu onsite including the delicious smash burgers, alongside this; special VIP food and drink packages will also be available for purchase in the private party rooms. The new Archie’s diner located in Archie’s Atomic will sit alongside the original diner located in Trafford Palazzo and the Trafford Centre.
