Stanisława Sowa remembered in an interview: Supply standards were then so low that we had to buy precious flour or sugar in a store, and because such purchases were subject to numerous restrictions, we combined all kinds of ways.

[3] The bakery operated so efficiently that Feliks and Stanisława hired in 1952 their first employees: one at the production plant, the other at the selling point.

Soon, however, it appeared they were short in workforce, regarding the fast growing load of daily duties: students were hired together with the first apprentice.

Their thinking was simple: if, in the event of a nationwide armed threat, a large centralized plant was destroyed, the damage would have been considerable and far-reaching, whereas small bakeries scattered around the country provided a much greater security.

Furthermore, the PRL's economic market and its narrow offer made it almost impossible to buy the appropriate flavors required for a vast range of recipes.

In 1982, Adam Sowa, Feliks and Stanisława's younger son, left his studies in construction and joined the family business.

In parallel with the economic transition of Poland, the company grew and employed more and more personnel while expanding the panel of its products.

[2] The new production capacities allow for the launch of additional sale points and cafés, not only located in Bydgoszcz, but also in Toruń and inside shopping centers, all exhibiting characteristic company visual marketings.

A year later, the firm took up an impressive challenge: to re-construct an entire block at the corner of Mostowa and Grodzka streets, with its pre-war features.

As soon as 2010, Adam's children joined the company, reinforcing its family tradition: Aleksandra, a Confectionery Master, on the creative side and Michał in sales and marketing.

[2] On 19 January 2014, Sowa won third place at the "Coppa del Mondo della Gelateria" (World Ice-cream Championships) in Rimini, Italy.

Furthermore, the team consisting of Aleksandra Sowa, Paweł Małecki, Michał Doroszkiewicz, Maciej Pięta and Mariusz Buritta was honored with a special award in the best ice-cream sculpture category.

In 2019, Sowa have signed an agreement to set up a confectionery class at the "Branżowa Szkoła I Stopnia Rzemiosła i Przedsiębiorczości w Bydgoszczy" (Vocational School No1 of Craft and Entrepreneurship in Bydgoszcz), teaching students how to bake delicacies using proven family recipes.

Jownia Woszczyńska, who works with Paweł Małecki at the Sowa confectionery, won in 2019 the first prize at the World Confectioners' Championship in Italy, organized by "Federazione Italiana di Pasticceria, Gelateria e Cioccolateria".
