SAVOY'S JEWELLERS

A flagship store at 290 Queen Street was opened as a small watchmaking and jewellery store on November 14th 1952 by John Anthoine and Edmond Rosset from the Savoy region of France. John was a watchmaker who also became a diamond expert from GIA. After the expansion of the first location, Edmond's sons Richard and Rodger Rosset helped to create and operate the Station mall (1981) and Cambrian mall (1984) locations. Richard and Rodger each apprenticed to be jewellers and received Graduate Gemmologist degrees along with both their sons (the 3rd generation) Nicholas and Ryan who have also both recently joined the team at Savoy's. Today, Savoy's maintains the values and traditions that made them trusted experts in the business.

Algoma Bicycle Company

Have you ever wondered where the best mountain bike trails are in Algoma? Would you like suggestions about how to easily get from your home to downtown Sault Ste. Marie on a bike, or where to explore great paved or gravel road routes in the area? Do you want to know the right wax to use on your cross-country skis at Hiawatha, or if snowshoes or back-country skis or a fat bike would be better to access your favourite ice-fishing spot? If so, make sure to stop by Algoma Bicycle Company during your next trip downtown to talk with Brad and Paul or their helpful staff.

ABC (Algoma Bicycle Company) was established by Brad Phaneuf and Paul de Beer who wanted to develop their passion for cycling and skiing and the outdoors into a thriving business. The doors to 'the shop' opened in 2008 and they have been offering Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma area the best selection of bikes, cross-county skis, snowshoes and service since then. Brad and Paul chose to locate on Queen Street because they recognize the importance of a strong, vibrate downtown to a community. According to Brad, "the downtown is the hub of business, culture and retail of any city and we wanted to be part of it."

Since opening their doors, they have seen tremendous growth in mountain biking and road riding in the Algoma area. Recognizing the fantastic opportunities that exist for outdoor enthusiasts during the winter in this area, they also promote cross-country and back-country skiing, snowshoeing and fat biking. "With world class cross-country ski trails located within our city limits, Sault Ste. Marie has so much to offer in the winter," says Brad.

The goal of the staff at ABC is more than just selling bikes and skis. It is to promote a healthy, happy lifestyle and encourage people to think about alternate means of transportation. Given that the city now has more people commuting to work on their bikes, more riders seen on roads around Algoma, and a parking lot at Hiawatha often full of mountain bikers, their plan seems to be working!
