A century of stories and sweet treats

Who we are

Wells Foodservice is the country’s largest privately held, family-owned manufacturer of ice cream and frozen treats. We bring you the brands that bring joy to your customers.

Before we led the industry in frozen treats, Wells Foodservice was a one-horse dairy operation in small-town Iowa. No matter how much we grow, we keep the local lens and hometown heart that make our 100-year story so special.
