Robin's Donuts


Robin's Donuts is a Canadian chain of over 160 fast food restaurants that operate in every province of Canada except Quebec. In 2017 a Maclean's Magazine Poll ranked Robin's as the 7th best coffee chain out of 15 in Canada.

History

Harvey Cardwell and George Spicer opened the first store in 1975 in Thunder Bay, Ontario as "Robin's Donuts".
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.
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.
