About us

Headquartered in Le Mars, Iowa, Wells Enterprises, Inc. is the largest privately held ice cream manufacturer in the United States. Founded in 1913 by Fred H. Wells and run by the Wells family for generations, the company is an independent operating company of the Ferrero Group, one of the global leaders in sweet packaged foods. We produce more than 900 ice cream and frozen novelties treats. Wells produces Blue Bunny® ice cream, frozen novelties and specialty frozen desserts along with the iconic Bomb Pop® brand. So much ice cream is produced in Le Mars by Wells that the city was designated as the Ice Cream Capital of the World® by the Iowa legislature! Blue Bunny branded items are distributed across the nation. Ice cream enthusiasts can find their favorite Blue Bunny products in grocery, convenience and club stores, on mobile vending trucks and in foodservice settings (such as educational institutions, hospitals and restaurants). The company’s corporate office and two ice cream plants are located in Le Mars. Our two other ice cream plants, one in Henderson, NV and the other in Dunkirk, NY help supply our frozen treats across the United States. Over 4,000 production, sales, office, and support personnel make up the Wells family. With its state-of-the-art production facilities the company is cited by many industry experts as one of the most technically advanced in the industry.

    I am surrounded of an amazing team. Getting together to spread the breast cancer awareness and motivating others to be part of it. Throughout this fundraising I have seen the team spread such awareness by emphasizing the importance of it and sharing their own stories of survival and proudly say "I am a cancer survivor" and those who share the stories of their loved ones and who they will always remember as heroes and left great memories within their hearts. We are Wells Enterprises in Dunkirk, NY 💫

    Pink ribbons, bake sales, and some pumpkin FUN. Our Corporate Center team rallied together to purchase ice cream-themed breast cancer awareness shirts, made and sold baked goods, and gathered together for an awesome lunch in the name of raising money to support cancer treatment in our community. We presented a $1,500 check to June E. Nylen Cancer Center in Sioux City, IA from the t-shirt proceeds and all bake sale money will also be sent along to the center. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and, like each and every community, members of our team across the country face their own diagnoses every day. #wearewells #bettertogether #togetherwesweetenlife

    Closing the gap when the bell rings. Caring for and supporting the communities where we live and work is an essential part of what we do at Wells. Children in U.S. schools who rely on free or reduced school lunches may get their only meals during the school day. In recognition of that fact, food banks and other agencies across the country provide snack bags to send home with them to help close the weekend meal gap. A team of Women of Wells members volunteered their time to pack snack bags for the Le Mars Backpack Program this week. They're one of the many groups who help the agency throughout the school year. Women of Wells is an Employee Resource Group focused on building an inclusive community at Wells by sponsoring, supporting, and nourishing women's leadership and career development. #EmployeeResourceGroup #WomenofWells #Community #BetterTogether #WeAreWells

    When we got the call to be part of the very first U.S. Kinder Bueno factory opening, we grabbed our scoops and cups and hit the road to Bloomington, Illinois! As part of Ferrero, Wells is excited for the future of our iconic brands and the potential for innovation on the horizon. We served up some Blue Bunny FUN with our partners as the ribbon was cut on Ferrero's $214M factory in Bloomington this week. #bettertogether #kinderbueno #bluebunny
