History
Established in 1926.
We were Oaklea before it was cool. This country convenience store has been a historical landmark in Robinson Township since 1926. The store has made an impact aiding it locals with essentials such as gasoline and grocery. More recently Oaklea has been the go to stop for the homemade brick oven pizza. We recommend you try the Grand Haven Style, our thin crust specialty.
We also have a bona fide Bait and Tackle shop (minnows available when there is ice). Being in such close proximity to the Grand River we cater to anyone from the savy Outdoorsman, visiting tourist, to the occasional weekend wanderer. If you are looking for a Pure Michigan experience feel free to give us a ring and we can help with any questions you have about the area. Whether you like to bike, fish, hunt, boat or kayak, there are several choices within 5 mile radius of the Oaklea Store.

Meet the Manager: Ed O.
Hello everyone! My name is Ed and have managed Oaklea since 2004. The store is family owned and operated. Customer service is our #1 priority. The employees we hire are great people and it shines the very minute you walk in. Growing up city and moving out country has gave me a priceless skill set.
I'm a seasoned angler with an extensive knowledge of the Grand River and its waterways, as well as most local parks and open spaces. Before I was an avid outdoors-man, I enjoyed playing competitive golf and entertaining friends and family with food. Those passions led me to create an awesome pizza called the "Grand Haven Style" which was a success from the very start. Later co-founded Chasin' Birdies Golf Camp, a youth day camp held at Pigeon Creek Golf Course. That introduces kids to the game of golf, and keeping them engaged with wide array of outdoor activities such as archery, fishing, and footgolf. 501(c)3 With an aim at being affordable and awarding scholarships to those in need.
