Our data from online and retail shows our consumer is seven to 10 years younger than our main competitors. We have a different aged audience but they also engage in different interests. Our core audience is, very much, a vibrant and young consumer, between 28 and 40 years old. An audience that is a little bit more affluent, lives in metropolitan cities, is looking for experimental food and drinks. We are not making it complicated. Vibrant and fun; let the party start.
