2004 Business of the Year
(Under 5 Employees)
Robinson’s Check it Out
One of a kind is a great way to describe Mark Robinson and Robinson’s Check it Out. This unique business opened in Owen Sound in 2001 and caters to party planners from across the Bruce-Grey region.

Their clients come from across the globe. They have received orders from Washington, New York, California and England. Robinson’s Check it Out has survived growing competition as Dollar stores and department stores increase their inventory of party supply items. Blackouts, SARS and the BSE crisis have also affected Robinson’s Check it Out, but by listening to customers requests and forecasting industry trends, the business has evolved to meet these challenges.

It is because of the ability to survive through the evolution that the 2004 Company of the Year (Under 5 Employees) has been awarded to Robinson’s Check it Out.
