Some days you just hit pay dirt - that was the feeling I had when I came across this fantastic store tucked away in Hakanoa St in trendy Grey Lynn, central Auckland.
The owner Tom is a wild west aficionado with genuine American connections and a passion for all things cowboy themed.
He self-built the store/home in the traditional adobe style of New Mexico - how much more passion for the American south west can you get that that?
Out the front of Trigger Happy is parked Tom’s yank barge and an assortment of selected clothes displayed in a small covered wagon reminiscent of so many settlers’ transport of choice. There’s even room to tie up your horse.
Inside there are racks of old western shirts and jackets, a selection of classic guitars (Tom and his wife play country music in their act Tennessee Sister), native American blankets and cowboy boots galore. More stock arrives regularly from contacts in the US.
If you’re in the area I highly recommend a visit!
