Unilever’s The Ice Cream Shop Partners with Flytrex for Airborne Ice Cream Delivery

The Ice Cream Shop, Unilever’s first-ever digital storefront, announced it has partnered with Flytrex, a leader in on-demand, ultrafast delivery for food and retail, to offer ice cream delivery via drone across all of Flytrex’s U.S. locations: Holly Springs, Fayetteville and Raeford, North Carolina, and Granbury, Texas.

Orders from The Ice Cream Shop will be delivered via the skies to front and backyards of local residents with a flight time under three minutes. Orders are placed using the Flytrex app, which provides customers with real time updates along the delivery route until the package is lowered safely by wire into their yard.

The partnership between Flytrex and The Ice Cream Shop will give customers a new way to effortlessly order from these brands.
