Proudly Local
Soo Mill is the most trusted supplier of lumber and building materials in the District of Algoma. Soo Mill's original retail location debuted on North Street in Sault Ste. Marie more than a century ago, followed by the Elliot Lake location in 1974 and the flagship Great Northern Road location in 1986.
Founded in 1915 by Fremlin Hollingsworth, Soo Mill & Lumber Company Ltd. has been a proud member of our community for many decades and is still owned by descendants of Fremlin to this day. The Hollingsworth family has helped build the Algoma area and are proud to call Sault Ste. Marie home.
