“This community has supported us, and in turn, we’ve supported the community.

With continued backing from members of the community and a steady stream of clientele who come from far and wide to check out the famous ice cream parlour, Tayfel said MacKay’s is very appreciative of all the support they have received throughout the years. “We’re not just MacKay’s Ice Cream – We’re MacKay’s ‘Cochrane’ Ice Cream.” “We’re third-generation owners of MacKay’s, but or family dates back six generations in the Cochrane Valley,” she said. With family ties deep in the roots of Cochrane, Tayfel said the anniversary is significant to her as both a generational business owner and as a member of the MacKay family. “We want to make it not only a celebration of the Cochrane community, but also our 75th, and as well celebrating small business in general,” she said. Tayfel added that neighbouring businesses in Cochrane’s Historic Downtown are also invited to take part in the celebration however they choose.

“And we’ve decided to use McIntosh toffee, all broken up as our toffee pieces to kind of give it that extra flavour base.” “It’s a butterscotch ice cream with a butterscotch ripple, and toffee pieces,” Tayfel explained. Tafel said they decided to kick things up and bring back the delicious treat. The signature flavour is an older recipe that MacKay’s was unable to create due to a lack of ingredients. “So, we’re going to have that available, and going to be giving away some little samples of that.” “We’re going to have one of our original signature flavours, which is Buttery Buttle Brickle,” Tayfel said. She said the milestone celebration will tie in elements from MacKay’s early days as a Cochrane-based business, which first set up shop along Main Street in 1948. Third-generation MacKay and current owner of MacKay’s Ice Cream, Meghan Tayfel, said the popular ice cream parlour has plans to host a celebration that won’t be small, but will be an intimate sidewalk celebration. COCHRANE - At the heart of Cochrane’s historic downtown, and widely renowned for their delicious frozen treats, MacKay’s Ice Cream is gearing up to celebrate its 75th anniversary on July 30.
