About Us

Our Story

Donald Robinson retired in 1991, and Michael in 1994. In 2010, Judd Robinson (Garry’s son) and William Swartz III (Store Manager) partnered with Garry in the business. In May of 2014, Garry retired from the store and became a Hardware Consultant. Bill and Judd had the opportunity to expand their business in 2015 with a Rental Department and Outdoor Power Equipment at 1890 Western Ave (next to the Hardware Store). They established the rental department as another way to help their neighbors complete their projects with the right equipment.

In 2016, Bill and Judd purchased their second location, Olsen’s Hardware and Garden Center at 1900 New Scotland Rd, which became Robinson Hardware and Garden Center. Most recently, we opened our third location in Clifton Park. 
We have been a family business now for three generations. We pride ourselves on being the MOST knowledgeable and helpful people in the hardware business.
