An old fashioned shop with old fashioned service
Roberts is an integral part of the town's history, locals tell of fond memories in days gone by when the staff disappeared into the depths of the shop to find that vital item and always returning, sometime later, with exactly the right thing. We are pleased to still serve those customers, from the same counter they stood in front of all those years ago and still find exactly what they need, all be it perhaps a little bit quicker. Everything you need, in one place
Visitors to the town are delighted to discover a shop offering products they thought had long since been discontinued - often likening it to an 'Aladdin's cave' of treasures. The original vintage Hardware Shop drawers, from which we still sell loose nails, screws and other products in singles, are much admired. We never tire of hearing reference to the famous Two Ronnie's Forkandles sketch and will happily supply Fork handles, four candles, or hose, O's and even hoes. We have, on occasion, fallen into the inevitable trap ourselves.

We are a continually changing and growing enterprise, but one thing remains the same - the value we place on customer service. We listen to our customers and accommodate their needs, by being flexible, friendly and thoroughly professional retailers.
Local people enjoy our relaxed `if it's not right, bring it back' attitude. We won't quibble over whether you bought it from us, because we will remember you.
SERVICES
Customers get the personal service, convenience and support they want from a locally-owned store, backed by the value-for-money prices and global sourcing which together provide the things they need at the right price.
