It began life as uncle lorne’s trap house!

When Wendy decided to open a store, only one building made sense. Once she filled it with things she figured people might need and gave it a coat of paint, it was hard to believe that it was once a winter home for Uncle Lorne’s lobster gear! Well, maybe not that hard …

the island's first store in over twenty years!

Long time visitors and old residents might remember Myrna and Vincent's store and Ed's store. And some people even remember Katie Campbell presiding over her candy jars back in the 50s and 60s. Well aside from the candy, Pictou Island Market is nothing like them.

Ice, spring water, etc.

It’s an eclectic mix. Everything from brake fluid to penny candy. As the island's only store we try to mix things up. We have tee shirts, hoodies, and crafts - and of course, candy. We have suntan lotion, a few food items, and other sundries. It varies but we pretty well always have ice, spring water, souvenirs, and did we mention, candy!

Friendly service

When you leave Pictou Island, you'll leave with memories of some of the most friendly people ever. We live in a little piece of heaven on earth. Why wouldn't we be friendly? Make sure you come by to meet Wendy and browse through her crafts - and those done by others. Located just steps from the wharf it is the place to buy hats, tee shirts, and all sorts of souvenirs!
