With its silo painted bright yellow, the repurposed flour mill on Raglan Street – the Town of Renfrew’s main drag – is an eye-catching local landmark.
But not just because of its close to century-old history as a former agricultural processing plant. For the past 38 years, the sign on the silo has read Mill Music and the beloved building has garnered a new reputation as one of the largest instrument stores – particularly for its selection of guitars – in Renfrew County and way beyond.
Soon it’ll have another sign and another sales stream: Cannabis 228, owner Steve St. Michael’s plunge into the legal pot market, a separate operation in another part of the Mill complex. Expected to open at the end of May, this venture will mark the town’s third government-regulated cannabis store.
