Houle's Feed Mill set for sale
June 24, 2020
For over a century, the E.J. Houle grain elevator has been the fixture of Forest Lake’s skyline, and for now, that skyline is set to stay. The business, Houle’s Feed Mill, is set for a sale closing date of Sept. 1 to Gertens, a Minnesota family-owned lawn and garden company that will keep the structure intact.
“It’s an iconic structure,” said Bob Muske of Re/Max Synergy, the listing agent for the property. “... When [Gertens] came up, it just felt right.” The sale includes the Stillwater business and the Forest Lake 3-acre lot on the southwest corner of Broadway Avenue and Lake Street. (The business leases the land for the Stillwater location.)
