DORSET, ONT. A trip to Muskoka wouldn t be complete without a pit-stop at Robinson s General Store in Dorset, Ont., a staple in the area that is about to come under new ownership after a century. The Robinson family recently announced the shop s sale on social media. This store is the Robinson s General store, and it will be forever, said Mike Hinbest, who will take over as the new owner on May 1. Hinbest also confirmed there would be no changes to staff. Harry and Marguerite Robinson opened Robinson s General Store in 1921. Over the next few decades, their son, Brad, joined the family business, stocking shelves and doing odd jobs around the store.
