It is the oldest continuously operating business in Hooksett. The store did very well because of its location on the Merrimack River and next to a railroad siding. George Robie bought the store in 1887 and was passed from father to son for the next 110 years. It was purchased by the Robie's Country Store Preservation Corp when Llyod Robie retired in 1997. It has been known for presidential candidates to stop in the store from time to time.
