- Published: July 16 2025 12:49
Wasoqopa'q First Nation is pleased to announce that we have purchased the business operations of MacPherson's located in Liverpool, Queens County. The business operates an appliance & furniture store, hunting & fishing supplies and a variety of other goods. The operation will also continue to lease out the Needs Gas and Convenience store.
MacPherson's has a long history as a successful establishment in Queens and we plan to continue to deliver the same quality service customers have come to know. The operation will continue to be managed by long time employee Tyler Frank, a Wasoqopa'q First Nation member.
Wasoqopa'q has plans to develop the land located behind the business operations which extends to the banks of the Mersey River. These lands will be developed into an outdoor cultural gathering place that is guided by Mi'kmaw traditional teachings.
"After five generations of family ownership, our family is honoured to pass the store on to the First Nations community. It's a meaningful transition for us, knowing the store will continue to serve the community with the same heart and eclectic spirit that's made it special for so many years. We've always believed in offering a little bit of everything, and we're thrilled to see that legacy carried forward. We know the store is in the best of hands and can't wait to see it thrive in this new chapter." - The MacPherson Family
