Matt Harris Hapi Lifestyle
Hapi was born out of a love for island living ; fresh sea air and enjoying the beautiful beaches and water that surrounds us . Hapi is made up of 2 stores that face each other in Liberty Wharf . The original store is made up of lifestyle brands like Animal , Billabong , Hey Dude , Mustang , Havaianas and the second store is dedicated to running and fitness ON Running , Oofos , Brooks , Lurv sport , Goldbergh , Stance . Matt has always been interested in setting up his own projects and working for himself . Before Hapi , he and a best buddy had a business called Thrones , a luxury portable toilet business . Hapi is continually evolving as Matt tries to create not just a shopping experience but a destination . They offer a ' try before you buy ' with ON running shoes , enabling customers to not only try them on but take them out for a few days or a lap around the block .
Outside of work , Matt loves all sports but especially sports that enable him to escape from the day to day ups and downs , like surfing and running . ' I have been in the sea every day for the last 7 months , even if it ' s just for 10 minutes . Jersey lends itself to the outdoors and we are truly lucky in what we have around us .'
