Holmes Lumber, started in 1952, has been a staple in Millersburg for quite some time. In 2004, the company became a subsidiary of Carter Lumber, a billion dollar company. Since then, 10 new store locations have been added all over the state. The company currently has two Holmes County locations. The Millersburg store is at 6139 State Route 39, and the store Financial aid in Sugarcreek is at 216 E.
