A Westfort Pillar

Our beloved seafood store has been moving into our new home in the historic R.S. Piper building since renovations began on the building in 2020. The original brick building has served as a pillar of the Westfort community and business district for decades. R.S Piper’s was a general bazaar and multi purpose store that opened for business in 1880! This makes it one of Thunder Bay’s oldest commercial buildings that is still in use today. Over the decades the store transitioned predominantly to hardware. Ownership changed over the years, from R.S. Piper’s Hardware, to Westfort Hardware, to Maier Hardware.

Our New Home

East Coast Lobster & Seafood moved into our new home in March of 2024 and are thrilled to be settled into the Westfort business community. We’ve expanded our operation by offering more in-house made seafood products, carry more stock, and are able to service Northern Ontario more efficiently in our new space!

The Landing

In early 2025 renovations are finally complete on the other unit occupying this historic building! We are pleased to welcome our sister company and neighbour; The Landing – Gathering Hall! The Landing is a multi purpose event space that offers a fully customized event experience in a beautifully restored space. We look forward to many future seafood events of our own! Oyster nights, seafood boils, fish fry’s, the opportunities are endless!

The Landing is a private space that has the ability to host events of all kinds. If your interested in the space, please visit thelandingtbay.com
