The Old Fashion
Robotic Store, Inc.
| |
| | | |
 | Brenda and Jim Tabele are the co-owners of the Old Fashion Robotic Store, Inc located in Providence, Rhode Island. The idea is to provide a retail location for robotics used by hobbyists and education that the both of us would enjoy. By providing kits and components along with information and knowledge, we have created a small location with a country style setting in a old manufacturing building aside The C J Fox Company. We constantly review products that are available to be included in our offerings. |

| The store is laid out into three sections. The retail store offers all of our products which can now be ordered by phone. Dad’s project room is where Jim works on his own projects for enjoyment. The Meeting room is an area with 6 workbenches and occasionally a competition setup that people can bring in their projects to work on, demonstrate, or just ask questions. (No gas, hydraulic, or pneumatic allowed. All are subject to owner’s approval for safety). |  |
