[edit] History
The first store opened in 1975 in Thunder Bay, Ontario[1]
The most successful stores ever operated were in St. Catharines and Thorold (three stores) in the province of Ontario, Canada. All were owned by the same family from 1988-1999. The family later sold the franchises due to health concerns with one of its members highly involved with franchise operations. The stores closed shortly after that sale.[citation needed]
On February 6, 2012, Chairman's Brands Corporation announced it would be opening 200-260 new Robin's Donuts locations in Canada by 2016. Atleast 100 of the new locations will be in Ontario, 40 for Quebec and minimum 60 in the western provinces.

The chain's signature item is coffee, but it also sells doughnuts, muffins, bagels, soups, submarine sandwiches, Robin's Eggs, and pizza.
