Weaver & Devore Trading, General store in Old Town Yellowknife, Canada
Weaver & Devore Trading is a store in Old Town Yellowknife that specializes in equipment for living in cold climates. The shop sells winter clothing, camping gear, hunting and fishing supplies, and other goods for people in remote areas.
The store was founded in 1936 as a trading post and played an important role in Yellowknife's early mining era. The original post was a hub for the flow of goods to miners and settlers in this developing region.
The store has remained family-owned across generations and supplies remote communities throughout the region with everyday goods and equipment. People from across the area come here to find what they need for living in the Arctic.
The store is located in Old Town and is easy to reach on foot as you walk through the historic streets. It is a good place to stop to find things or order items you need for living in this region.
The 1937 log trading post stands across Weaver Drive from today's store, at 62°27′53″N 114°21′00″W, and now houses Bullock's Bistro, a fish-and-chips restaurant. The building is a City of Yellowknife Historical Site, so the partners' first permanent post survives as a separate landmark from the shop that carries their names.
