Your one-stop shop for all the essentials
Located in the heart of Dorset, Ontario
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.
