Seafood Market in Springfield, IL
With that thought in mind, Henry Robert, Sr. Walked out of the watch factory where he worked at the Christmas holiday in 1911 - he never did go back. In the new year, Mr. Robert purchased a local grocery and opened Robert's Fish Company, even though at the time he admittedly said I didn't know a carp from a catfish. 34 years later he welcomed his sons, Henry Jr. And Dean, into the growing business, and in 1974, Dean Robert, Jr.our current president) joined the family company.
