Ice cream, you scream, we all scream for full-time jobs in the Forest City.

The factory, which is located on Wilton Grove Road, supplies all of Canada with popular brands Häagen-Dazs, Parlour and Drumstick, announced a $51.5 million expansion to the factory in March. Nestle officials said the expansion was necessary to meet increased demands.
“We are really proud to be a part of the London community and excited to be able to offer even more valuable employment opportunities within it,” said Arthur van Raalte, Director, Factory Operations, Nestlé Canada in a release.
The expansion work began in January and will continue for most of the year.
