A restaurant chain that was popular across the UK in the 1980s had a branch right here in Manchester, offering families a variety of meals for a decent price.
Happy Eater was known for its bright yellow branding, creepy-looking red mascot logo and its animal-shaped play areas. The restaurant chain arrived on the scene in 1973, and by the 1980s, it had taken over the UK.
The majority of Happy Eaters were situated next to motorways and main roads, with the Manchester branch being near the A34. Its location made it easy for people to visit on the way home from work and school.
