The next time you’re at the Trafford Centre you won’t fail to miss the site of fast food chain Archie’s latest restaurant, opening in summer 2020, thanks to the huge, bright pink hoarding emblazoned with the Archie’s logo and information, produced by Hartbrights. It marks the location in the Orient’s food quarter on the former site of La Tasca.

By our count this will be the seventh Archie’s venue, for all but one of which we have produced the unmistakable exterior and interior signage.

The Trafford Centre venue will seat 250 people and will feature a ‘pink room’ with ball pit and swings for customers to enjoy and create memorable social media posts in. Archie’s Imran Shezad explains:

“The Trafford Centre restaurant is going to be the flagship store, it will be really cool – very Instagrammable.

“We’ve taken the sites we have done previously and taken it to the next level.

“We’ve got a room with pink banana swings and a ball pit just for that.”

For our part, we will manufacture and install all of the signage as we have for other venues, including four Manchester venues and Liverpool Central Station.

The scheme is likely to involve illuminated 3D lettering, neon and much more. More details to follow over the coming weeks…
