Toilet tissue roll storage and dispenser apparatus comprises an open-bottomed cabinet having a storage space, a roll support and dispenser device pivotably mounted in the cabinet below the storage space and roll support plate and a cylindrical roll holder below the support plate, and an operating handle accessible from the exterior of the cabinet for pivotably moving the device 90 degrees between a roll-dispensing position and a roll-receiving position. In the roll-dispensing position, rolls of tissue are stacked one on top of another in the storage space with their axes in vertical alignment on the roll support plate. The device is then swung upwardly to roll-receiving position by means of the operating handle, causing the roll support plate to tilt and lift the stack of rolls upward in the storage space until the free end of the cylindrical roll holder engages the core of the lowermost roll in the stack, whereupon that roll drops onto the roll holder. The device is then swung to roll-dispensing position by means of the operating handle wherein the roll on the roll holder is horizontally disposed and accessible through the open bottom of the cabinet and the remaining rolls slide downward to rest upon the support plate. A latch is provided for preventing the device from being tilted upward to receive a new roll until the depleted roll core is axially removed through an access hole in the side of the cabinet.
