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

We’re excited to see you at the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) Show in Las Vegas starting October 8th! Join us at the Ferrara Booth (N1829) to explore what will surely be the most innovative new product of 2025! Inspired by the beloved Trolli sour gummi candy, our new Trolli Gummi Pops! Part Gummi, Part Frozen. We’re bringing candy to frozen novelty in a way that’s NEVER been done before with the most unique taste and texture experience! We're also extremely proud to show off our new line of Ferrero Ice Cream Candy Bars (Booth N1115)— Butterfinger and Baby Ruth are delicious fusions of the iconic candy bars and creamy ice cream, bringing the great confectionary taste into ice cream form! While we can’t wait to share more about these – and other – new Wells Enterprises innovations, we look forward to starting that journey by seeing you and making a sweet connection at #NACS2024! For all additional inquiries, please email pr@wellsenterprisesinc.com.

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

Five years ago, Wells Enterprises proudly welcomed Halo Top to our portfolio, and since then, it’s been an incredible journey of growth and innovation. Halo Top’s pioneering approach to delivering indulgent, better-for-you ice cream has transformed the frozen dessert category, and we’re thrilled to have been a part of this revolution. In these five years, we’ve collaborated to push boundaries, expand product offerings, and reach new markets while creating a world where everyone can experience joy every day. Together, we’ve blended the best of Wells' legacy of quality with Halo Top’s bold, fresh perspective on health-conscious indulgence. As we look ahead, we remain committed to driving innovation, exploring new opportunities, and bringing more joy to consumers!
