Robnett’s Hardware, a step back in time when service mattered.

Robnett’s Hardware, a step back in time when service mattered. (StreetView)
Robert Marshal Wade opened this hardware store in 1855. The Robnett family bought the place in 1894. Robnett’s is Corvallis’ longest continuously operating business. Scott Lockwood and his wife, Lori own the store now. Robnett's has now been owned by the same family for six generations.

I grew up in Corvallis, and it's the only hardware store in Corvallis I've ever shopped at. To walk into Robnett's is to go back in time when service mattered, and no matter what you came for, someplace they had it in a little drawer, maybe high on the wall and needed a ladder to find it.
