The town of Roblin, Manitoba had four grain elevators until fairly recently. In 1993 there was a Manitoba Pool elevator (with annex and steel bins) and a Cargill elevator (with annex).

In 1980 there were four elevators – the two mentioned above, a possible former Federal and another Pool elevator.

The Pool elevator was labeled “No. 1” because it was the first Manitoba Pool elevator.

There is a Viterra elevator just north of Roblin.
