The much-loved burger restaurant Archie's has opened the doors to its new site inside Trafford Palazzo.
An Archie's branded monster truck signifying its arrival has been parked up outside the restaurant for around two years now, so fans were excited to finally see the place open on Wednesday lunchtime.
Known nationwide for its fluorescent pink interiors, the launch coincides with the opening of the UK’s first Nerf indoor entertainment centre, which opens this Friday.

Inside the new Archie’s there are references to the popular children’s toy, including a giant 'chandelier' consisting of bright pink Nerf blasters and a Nerf shake soon to arrive on the menu.
But customers, who may have visited the Archie's site across the bridge at The Trafford Centre, will be familiar with the mouth-watering burgers, wraps, waffles, and milkshakes this place is famous for.
A spokesman for Archie's said: "We are really excited to be partnering with Nerf AX at the UK’s first dedicated Action Experience Park here at Trafford Palazzo. Guests attending the attraction will be able to access our American-inspired menu as they watch their friends and family play Nerf, or to refuel after an energetic and fun session at NAX.
“Working together with NAX we have taken our iconic pink restaurants and fused the family fun-fuelled values of Nerf to create a unique dining experience, particularly for parties and celebrations.”
The site is near Primark and the newest addition to the Palazzo, which is also home to Legoland Discovery Centre and Sea Life and recently welcomed the new King Pins bowling alley.
Mark Whittaker, executive director property investment and management at Peel L&P, said:
