“Wilcox Ice Cream is known for being innovative, just like Green Mountain Power, and so we created a fabulous new flavor with fudge and chocolate truffles – real comfort food – to celebrate the comfort that GMP is creating for its customers with its eHome program,” said Christina Wilcox, vice-president of Wilcox.
Wilcox Ice Cream is a family-operated business that has made premium ice cream for 88 years with Vermont milk and cream. Headquartered in Manchester, it is opening a new location in Sunderland, across the street from GMP’s Sunderland district office.
“Like we are partnering with customers on a new energy future, we are so excited to partner with Wilcox Ice Cream to create this fun new flavor, eHome Sweet Home ice-cream,” said Mary Powell, president and CEO of Green Mountain Power. “Our eHome program has helped our customers save money and be more comfortable in their homes, so we thought this would be a sweet way to celebrate!”
“This comprehensive approach to energy is innovative, simple, and satisfying – just like the new ice cream flavor. We hope people will enjoy eHome Sweet Home!” Powell said.
The ice cream will be sold at stores across Vermont and will be available starting today.
