Building with Cedar Since 1986

For over four decades, Cedar Shoppe has been the go-to building supply store and speciality lumber supply yard in St. Catharines, ON. It’s a place where your projects are known by name, the supplies you need and love are stocked, and someone is always there to help you get the job done right. For us, it’s about providing the kind of service no one does anymore. That’s the way we’ve done business since day one. 

The Craftsman's First Stop

Cedar Shoppe was founded in 1986 by Tim Braun, right here in St. Catharines. Tim set out to offer quality products, straight talk, and service that meant something.

For 38 years, that's exactly what Cedar Shoppe delivered. Contractors who knew Tim knew that their order would be right, their questions would get real answers, and they'd leave with what they actually needed to do the job well.

When Tim retired in 2024, he left behind something rare: a business with a genuine reputation — earned over nearly four decades, one customer at a time. New ownership has stepped in with a clear commitment: honour what was built, and carry it forward.

Cedar Shoppe's Next Chapter

Today, we're owned by Ontario natives Herman & Josh Post — brothers whose family business in specialty lumber and construction gives them a first-hand understanding of what this place is and why it matters.

That's not a coincidence, it's exactly why Cedar Shoppe is and always will be where craftsmen come for their best work yet.
