The original Archie's burger and shake diner in Manchester has reopened today after a £1m makeover - themed as an all-pink New York subway station. The investment in the venue comes amid plans by the Manchester-founded company to take Archie's to the next level with a multi-million pound rollout of new concept diners across the UK.
That includes the launch of "Archie's Atomic" a new concept for the brand, with vast 200-seater restaurants that will also include all-pink bowling alleys and entertainment hubs inside. Bosses are already eyeing a number of sites in London for the concept, as well as across the UK, with more details to be announced soon.
In the meantime, Archie's first ever diner, on Oxford Road in Manchester, has reopened after a six-month closure with major redesign and makeover. The design is all a nod to subway stations in the US, with a mix of pink grids, metal frames with video screens and diner-style seating.
