The Robinsons Group manages three retail entities that trade under the following companies - Robinsons, John Little and Marks & Spencer.  Robinson and Company, the founding company, started trading in Singapore in 1858. In 1955 Robinson and Company acquired John Little, which was established in 1842. Marks and Spencer which traded under the St. Michael name first operated in 1958 in a John Little Store. A big fire in November 1972 destroyed Robinsons at Raffles Place and they moved to Specialists’ Centre, located at the heart of Orchard Road, Singapore’s busiest and only shopping district then.

In June 1983, Robinsons moved again. This time into 5 levels of prime retail space in Centrepoint located just across the road from Specialists’ Centre.  The St. Michael name was officially changed to Marks and Spencer in 1994. Robinsons and Company also manages the Marks and Spencer stores in Malaysia.

There are 2 Robinsons stores. The flagship store is located at Centrepoint and the second store which was opened on March 15 2001 is located at Raffles City.
