Our Story

Community Driven

Proud supporters and employers of the ROBIN HOOD ASSOCIATION…

There is a part of our company that we cherish, rather, a practice that we’ve continued for 29 years that we can’t seem to give up. We employ people from the Robin Hood Association, a local organization that provides assistance and job opportunities for people with disabilities. They hand-fold each and every box our desserts are packaged in. While this could easily become an automated and cost-effective process, we feel we make a difference in our community and that is something that matters.

“Since 1992, WOW! Factor Desserts and The Robin Hood Association have collaborated to fulfill a need in the factory. It has been a very rewarding experience for us as it has enriched the lives of many of our individuals that seek meaningful employment. The level of dedication from these employees is evident in the fact that more than half of the Robin Hood team have worked at WFD for 5+ years. Two of those employees have been at WFD for 21 years without a sick day!”

WOW! FACTOR DESSERTS HAS BEEN PRODUCING DECADENT DESSERTS FOR 40 YEARS and yet most people are unaware that our products are made right here in Canada... Sherwood Park, Alberta to be exact!

“In celebration of 25 years with the Robin Hood Association, we spoke three members who have been with WOW! for 20+ years. Thank you Rob, Heather and Russell for your dedication and for always making us smile...”
