Kiama’s hospitality whiz kids, Jack Alexander and Taylor Hudson of Hungry Monkey, have added a new manufacturing arm to their empire.

Their latest venture, Lazy Daze, is a new cold-pressed juice company situated behind the Berry Hungry Monkey store. 

After spotting a gap in the market, the pair ‘just went for it’.

“We found a stack of other cold-pressed juice companies available but none with the type of brand and personality we wanted to bring to the market,” Jack says.

“We know the process involved with producing high quality cold-pressed juice because it’s on our menu at all The Hungry Monkey stores.”

They will produce handcrafted juices free from pathogens, additives and preservatives, while keeping the nutritional value of the ingredients.

Lazy Daze currently has three juices with more to come and is already stocked around the Illawarra at Gerringong’s Clay Coffee, Shellharbour and Calderwood Bean Roasted and Uncle Earl’s in Wollongong.

Jack says to expect a laid-back, fun, vibrant and youthful option that is nutritious, delicious and cool.

“In everything that we commit to, our passion has always been to produce the best product possible and that’s no different when it comes to Lazy Daze,” he says.

Since opening their business in 2015, the pair have opened three more stores - in Berry, Bowral and Thirroul - and started a food truck business.
