As COVID-19 creates a dramatic shift in the U.S.’ buying patterns of frozen foods, CAULIPOWER®, the maker of America’s #1 favorite better-for-you frozen pizza, calls for an innovative redesign of the refrigerator/freezer with the creation of the “freezerator”.
LOS ANGELES, CA – New research conducted exclusively by CAULIPOWER, America's favorite cauliflower crust pizza and the fastest growing frozen pizza brand in the U.S., has revealed a hidden, “perfect storm” happening in kitchens throughout the country: 70% of households have simply run out of freezer space as purchases of frozen foods skyrocketed a whopping 95% in March[1]. To make matters worse, freezer sales soared 45% compared to last year, leaving some people waiting over five months to receive their new home appliance.
But CAULIPOWER’s research reveals that more of the same white goods may not be the answer. 77% of Americans want to turn the traditional fridge-freezer on its head. They wish their freezer space were larger or at least the same size as the refrigerated space. By popular consumer demand, CAULIPOWER’s idea for a ‘freezerator’ was born, with the majority of its space dedicated to freezer storage.
The brand’s buying trends survey of more than 4,000 Americans further supports the need for a “freezerator” through the following findings:
“We all simply need more freezer space. COVID-19 has changed our attitudes towards frozen food forever, and now we need a revolution in the design of America’s freezers,” said Gail Becker, Founder & CEO of CAULIPOWER.
The brand wants to bring the concept to life and is asking for people to submit their proposal for a “freezerator” design to freezerator@eatCAULIPOWER.com. The best proposal will be chosen based on functionality and overall aesthetic, and CAULIPOWER will get it in front of the top kitchen appliance manufacturers. To raise the stakes even more, the brand is giving the winner a lifetime supply of CAULIPOWER products. Guidelines for the submissions can be found at eatCAULIPOWER.com/freezerator.
As a company that is based on giving people what they want, CAULIPOWER is taking the need for more freezer space seriously and will be hosting a freezer giveaway on their social channels. Visit their Instagram @CAULIPOWER to learn more.
