Robb & Stucky was founded in 1915 by Virgil C. Robb and W.R. Lee in Fort Myers, Florida as Lee & Robb, a general merchandise emporium. In 1917 Harry C. Stucky joined the firm, and the name was eventually changed to Robb & Stucky. Robb & Stucky operated as a single-store operation for 52 years, and in 1967 the firm opened its second location in Naples.
