Bear's Den

Bear's Den Filling up you and your vehicles with you favorite fresh products since 1953. Bear’s Den is a well known family business on the St. During the St.

Regis Mohawk Indian Reservation at Akwesasne. Established in 1953 by Theresa Lazore Guthrie, Matriarch of the Tarbell family, and affectionately known by many as Theresa Bear, she started her business with two gas pumps and a small craft shop. Lawrence Seaway Development Project, she ran a boarding house and a snack bar selling burgers and pizzas. Theresa instilled in her family an ethic of hard w

ork and determination to achieve success. Her strong will and entrepreneurial spirit was inherited from her parents, Eli and Violet Lazore, and has now passed on to four generations. Today, Bear’s Den has grown to a full-service fuel station offering all blends of gasoline and distillate products, touchless car wash center, a family restaurant serving home style meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, featuring the area’s best home made pies and desserts.

Today, we honored two remarkable individuals whose legacy will forever remain part of our Tarbell Management Group LLC and Bears Den family.

With the dedication of memorial plaques on our benches, we celebrate the lives and service of Art McGee and Courtney Seymour, two former associates who gave so much of themselves to this company, their teammates and the Akwesasne community they served every single day for over 2 decades.

Art McGee dedicated over 23 years of service to our family. Known for his loyalty, positivity, dependability and willingness to help others, Art represented the kind of person you could always count on. He treated everyone with kindness and respect and became family to so many of us along the way.

Courtney Seymour dedicated nearly 22 years to our family, growing from cashier to manager through hard work, leadership, and heart. Courtney took pride in everything she did and made everyone around her feel supported, welcomed, and valued. She led by example and left a lasting impact on both her team and customers.

While their journeys were different, Art and Courtney shared something truly special they gave their best every single day, not for recognition but simply because that’s who they were.

These benches are more than a memorial. They are a place to pause, reflect, and remember two people who helped shape the culture, spirit, and heart of our organization.

For two people who spent so much of their lives taking care of others, we hope this serves as a place where their memory can rest peacefully while continuing to inspire all of us.

Art and Courtney Nia:wenkowa for your years of dedication, your kindness, your leadership, and your friendship.

You will always be part of who we are.
You will always be remembered. ❤️

Last week, we had the opportunity to spend some time showing appreciation to the incredible people who care for, support, and inspire our communities every single day. ❤️

During Teacher Appreciation Week, our teams were proud to visit and deliver a little appreciation to educators and staff throughout the Salmon River, Akwesasne, and Massena school districts. We also had the chance to sneak in a little appreciation for National Nurses Appreciation Day for the dedicated nurses and healthcare teams at the SRMT Clinic and Massena Hospital as well. 🩺🍎

Whether in the classroom or caring for patients, your compassion, patience, hardwork, and commitment make a difference in so many lives across our communities.

A special thank you to Christy from TMG/Bears Den Charitable Foundation for coordinating all theses meals and of course our awesome teams at Bears Den Restaurant, Tim Hortons and Tarbell Management Group for helping make these visits and meals possible.

To all teachers, nurses, school staff, and healthcare professionals, Nia:wen (thank you) for everything you do each and every day.
