Specialties
Since 1959, Robert Is Here has specialized in exotic fruit, local vegetables, and fresh fruit milkshakes. This family owned and operated fruit stand also offers a wide variety of tropical and exotic jams, jellies, marmalades, sauces, chutneys, relish, and pickles.
History
Established in 1960.
Robert Is Here Fruit Stand was established by Robert in the late fall of 1959. At that time, 6 year-old Robert was set on this very corner with some of his father’s cucumber crop and told to «Sell ‘em!» Robert sat all day on that Saturday and no one even stopped. That evening, Robert’s father decided «there can’t be that many people who don’t like cucumbers; they must not see this little boy standing here on the corner.» The next day Robert’s father placed a sign proclaiming «Robert Is Here». By noon Robert had sold all of the cucumbers and walked home. The following weekend, a neighboring farmer added tomatoes to Robert’s display and a fruit stand was born. When school started again in January of 1960, Robert and his mother would set up for the day and leave a coffee can with customers paying by the honor system. Robert would work at the fruit stand after school. At age 9, Robert hired his first employee. To this day, Robert still works everyday in his fruit stand and really is here.
