Our Story
In 1984, Ken and his father, Bill McAllister, set up shop at the corner of Kingsway and Commercial Drive in Vancouver. Over the years, they have found deals varying from yarn, stickers, and toys, to air compressors, wrenches and tarps (and everything in between!). Thirty-plus years later, the Midland legacy has continued to expand to three generations, as now Bill McAllister’s grandsons are helping grow the business.
The family’s business has expanded, not just in our product offerings, but in locations as well. Now there are two locations to serve Lower Mainland customers – location at 1234 Kingsway in Vancouver and at 19335 Langley Bypass in Surrey.
Midland Liquidators guides itself by
these core principles:
- We care for our customers, each other, and our business.
- We diligently serve our customers by providing them with quality service and professional product knowledge.
- We work hard to help, encourage, and challenge each other to become the best we can be.
- We help those in society who are disadvantaged or less fortunate, both here in our community and around the world.
- We honour God in all our decisions.
