Ben & Jerry's at 313 Somerset Discovery Walk

Ben & Jerry’s Flagship Scoop Shop will serve an exciting menu of 18 chunky, swirly and euphoric ice cream flavours, alongside new shakes, sundaes, ice cream cakes and a wider range of merchandise. Staying true to providing fans the best possible ice cream made in the nicest possible way, Ben & Jerry’s is taking values-led sourcing local. 

Bakery items like brownies and cookies and herbs like mint will be supplied by SCORE Bakery, which works to rehabilitate inmates through skills training, and social enterprise Edible Garden City, who are a group of urban farmers championing the Grow Your Own Food movement in land-scarce and import-dependent Singapore.

“Ben & Jerry’s is proud to present Singapore’s Flagship Scoop Shop at 313 Somerset Discovery Walk and we can’t wait to meet our fans in this great new space. We hope our fans can join us in welcoming our social mission partners as well, and together support our exciting mission to spread peace, love and ice cream in Singapore,” says Mr Moustapha Khaled, Country Director, Unilever Singapore

The Flagship Scoop Shop is also Ben & Jerry’s Community Action Hub where the company hopes to use fun and ice cream to inspire social involvement and progress locally. A new Benefit Tuesday Night programme, exclusive to the flagship, will run on a Tuesday every month, allowing various local welfare organisations to engage the public on their causes. Ben & Jerry’s will donate 20% of sales during the 7pm – 9pm event to featured social mission partners.

In addition, Ben & Jerry’s has partnered international food artist, Samantha Lee, to create a delicious Sundae that will celebrate Peace, Love & Ice Cream! Available only at the Flagship Scoop Shop until 31 August 2015, all profits will be donated to Ben & Jerry’s Benefit Tuesday Night partners and fans can do their part today to get scoopin’ and share some lovin’!

Ben & Jerry’s a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unilever, operates its business on a three-part Mission emphasizing product quality, economic reward and a commitment to the community.
