The famed street food eatery, which is famous for its burgers and milkshakes, unveiled its first Archie’s Atomic at Trafford Palazzo which officially opens to the public today (November 7).

Famous Manchester siblings Adam, Scott and Ryan Thomas also brought the party vibes to the glam venue, whilst Real Housewives of Cheshire stars Seema Malhotra and Tanya Bardsley also attended the star-studded event.

Also in attendance were Love Island stars, including Leah Taylor, Emma Milton and Claudia Fogarty, with fellow former contestants Natalia Zoppa, Josh Legrove, and Reuben Collins also amongst those to walk the pink carpet. Riyad Mahrez's wife Taylor Ward, presenter PK Humble, and popular social media stars Anastasia Kingsnorth, Ami Charlize, and Byron also showed up to the event.

Tickets for Archie’s Atomic start from £8.50 and visitors are encouraged to reserve their tickets to ensure their preferred time slot. Open from 10am to 10pm, the attraction has already been hailed as the North’s largest, and pinkest, roller rink.

Nuno Lopes, Operations Director at Archie’s, commented: “We’re beyond excited to finally open our doors at Archie’s Atomic and welcome everyone in! Our team has put so much passion into creating this unique space, and it’s amazing to see it come to life for our guests. We’ve designed Archie’s Atomic to be a one-of-a-kind experience for all ages, and seeing our vision become reality is a dream. We hope Manchester loves it as much as we do!”
