The Taylor family celebrated the grand opening of a new 15,000-sq. ft. Pleasants Hardware location April 11 in Richmond, Va.
It’s the fourth new store added since Taylor’s Do it Center acquired Pleasants Hardware in 2016, growing the Pleasants Hardware brand from seven locations to 11, in addition to 11 Taylor’s Do it Centers.
The celebration included special discounts and giveaways throughout the day, along with the company’s traditional board cutting ceremony, followed by live demos from Big Green Egg, Broil King, and STIHL, as well as consultations with Benjamin Moore, Midwest Fasteners, and Scotts Lawn Care.
“We’re proud of the track record of our company in opening our 22nd location in today’s competitive marketplace,” said Joe Taylor, President and CEO of Pleasants Hardware and Taylor’s Do it Center. “We’re excited to be celebrating that as we head into our 100th year in business in 2027.”
The 15,000 sq. ft. store is conveniently located in the Oxbridge Square Shopping Center in Chesterfield County, part of the greater Richmond area. The new location offers a wide selection of top brands, including Big Green Egg, Traeger, Broil King, and Napoleon grills, along with trusted names like Benjamin Moore, Midwest Fasteners, STIHL, Scotts, Jonathan Green, and more.
“This is the fourth new store we’ve opened since 2016, and each one continues to raise the bar,” said Darrell Campbell, General Manager of Pleasants Hardware. “From our incredible team to our partnership with Do it Best, we’ve been able to leverage their store design expertise, merchandising assistance, and generous discounts that helped us open ahead of schedule and deliver a better experience for our customers.”
