For over a century Pleasants Hardware continues to be family owned and operated. We also remain committed to serving the Richmond market with convenient locations, quality tools & products, and expert hardware advice.
In December 2015, C. F. Sauer announced that they would be closing the Broad Street Pleasants location and redeveloping that property into a new retail complex. Two months later, in February 2016, it was announced that Taylor’s Do it Centers of Virginia Beach, VA would be acquiring the remaining seven Pleasants Hardware locations. It was a perfect fit for the Taylor family. They’ve known both the Hatcher and Wake families for many years, and their company enjoys a 90-year history of their own. At the same time, Pleasants aligned their primary buying affiliation with Do it Best Corp., a member-owned hardware cooperative that now supplies Pleasants Hardware and Taylor’s Do it Center stores along here, along with 3,800 other independent hardware and building supply retailers across the country and around the world. The new ownership ensured that the now 110-year-old Pleasants Hardware would remain family-owned and operated, and remains committed to serving the Richmond market with convenient locations, quality products, and expert advice.
