About Robinson's General Store

Robinson's General Store, owned and operated since 1921, is a historic and popular destination in the area. Covering over 14,000 square feet, it features a variety of shops, including a Food Town grocery store, Home Hardware, and a gift shop known for moccasins. Upstairs, visitors can explore Lakeside Apparel, a ladies boutique. The store offers a cozy, vintage charm from the outside, while inside, it feels like a maze packed with everything from fishing gear, automotive supplies, food, snacks, and alcohol to souvenirs and name-brand clothing. It’s considered a one-stop shop for visitors and locals alike, with nearby spots serving poutine. Although some feel the store has lost some of its former service quality and organization, recent efforts by new owners aim to improve the experience. The store is convenient for cottage country, though some mention high prices and concerns about product quality, such as spoiled meat. Overall, Robinson's remains a notable and nostalgic destination in the area.
