Voted "Canada's Best Country Store", this famous general store is a "must-see" for anyone visiting the Muskoka or Haliburton area. Located by the bridge on Main Street in Dorset, the store has been owned and operated by the same family since 1921, and now sprawls over 14,000 sq.ft. of retail space.
Shoppers can find gifts, souvenirs, housewares, clothing, footwear (where moccasins are a specialty); a true "browser's paradise". Robinson's also includes a Food Town supermarket, a Home Hardware, and "The Red Onion", our upstairs Ladies' Boutique.
Ample free parking or come by boat on beautiful Lake of Bays.
Open 7 days a week, year round; hours vary by season.more...See more text
Ordered a pair of mens moccasins from the mens section of the online menu. Was sent a pair of ladies moccasins. Reached out online, received an email apology and was a told the mens style was out of stock. As requested, I replied with an alternate choice and requested a return authorization. At that point the company rep (Louise) stopped responding. After a week I reached out by telephone, spoke to 2 different employees and was told I would get a response next day. Crickets… buyer beware.
Outstanding! A seasonally appropriate hardware store; a good grocery store, for both permanent residents and cottagers; a great souvenir selection and a most interesting selection of clothing. Friendly and professional staff; a
great experience!!
