Leading international CPG company Unilever has teamed up with Robomart to target Generation Alpha, the youngest demographic born between 2010 and 2025. The decision to reach Gen Alpha by Unilever shouldn't come as a surprise considering this new generation is expected to become the largest population in the world by 2025.
The new partnership arrives in the form of Unilever's 'The Ice Cream Shop,' a mobile ice cream delivery vehicle that customers can summon via an easy-to-use app. According to the company, once an order is placed, the ice cream truck will arrive at users' doors in minutes.
The new "store on wheels" will carry a range of ice creams and other frozen treats from brands including Breyers, Ben & Jerry's, Magnum, Good Humour, and Talenti.
