Harvey Cardwell and George Spicer opened the first store in 1975 in Thunder Bay, Ontario as "Robin's Donuts".[3][4][5]
In October 2006, Chairman's Brand Corporation took ownership of Robin's Donuts when it purchased Afton Food Group, the former owner of Robin's Donuts, 241 Pizza and Mrs. Powell's Cinnamon Buns.[6]
In 2015 a new logo was created which dropped "Donuts" from the name; this is likely because of the growing number of alternative new menu items.[7]
On September 26, 2024, Robin's announced plans to expand once again in the Southern Ontario market; a market where it closed most of its' locations in the early 2000's due to increased competition from rival Tim Hortons.
