Andi Eigenmann marked a new milestone in her business as she expanded her cafe in Siargao.
On Instagram, the actress and entrepreneur shared that Happy Islanders has reopened at a new and bigger location.
"I've been ghosting you ['cause] I'm working (on our cafe reopening and expansion!!!)," she wrote on her Instagram page. "And now I’m back and we are open again!! See you at our new spot right at Cloud 9 Beach. 🌺"
Andi expressed her excitement over the new chapter for the business.
"Feeling so so proud and excited for this next chapter for @happyislanders.siargao. We've grown and expanded, but the heart of Happy Islanders stays the same! It's all about experiencing the island life we love, through good food, surfing, the ocean and our community. So so grateful to the entire team!" she stated.
She also thanked the team who helped bring the newly expanded cafe to life. "So happy to finally share this little space with you all! LFG!" she said
Meanwhile, Andi revealed that her partner Philmar Alipayo was unable to join her during the final preparations for the reopening as he was in Japan for a coaching stint with the Philippine Surfing Team.
"@chepoxz had to miss this crazy final stretch cus he was in Japan coaching the Philippine Surfing Team at the Asian Games. So proud of him, but now I can’t wait for him to come home, see what we’ve built, experience it all… and finally get some work in too 🤣," she said.
Fans online were quick to extend their congratulatory message to Andi.
"Visiting next month! Will surely visit your cafe!!!😍" one fan commented.
Andi Eigenmann reflects on embracing another year and living a simple life as she turns 36
Happy Islanders, which serves a selection of healthy food and beverages, was established three years ago.
In an interview with Karen Davila last July, Andi opened up about how the idea of starting the cafe came about.
"I was just enjoying my semi-retirement life. But eventually, when we were talking about putting up a business, Philmar has always wanted to put up his own surf club and obviously renting a place that's not going to be enough kasi the proceeds of that go to all the local boys. Sabi niya, you're so passionate about preparing healthy, wholesome meals, why not just share and let's do a cafe together?" she said.
