Pleasants Hardware comes to Powhatan
Family-owned Pleasants Hardware and Do it Best have opened a new Pleasants Hardware in Powhatan, Virginia.
The company said this is its tenth location in the Richmond market and the third new location since Taylor’s Do it Center acquired Pleasants Hardware in 2016.
“This is our third new Pleasants location in the last four years,” said Joe Taylor, president and CEO of Pleasants Hardware and Taylor’s Do it Center.
The company said that Jason Askew will manage this new location. Askew has more than 30 years of experience in the home improvement industry and has been with Pleasants Hardware for over a decade.
“Jason has been successful in leading the teams at several of our stores, including two of our recent locations,” said Darrell Campbell, general manager of Pleasants Hardware. “He’s a great leader and will be an excellent resource for the Powhatan community.”
Previously, Askew managed the new Pleasants Hardware location in New Kent County which opened in October 2021.
Prior to that he managed the opening of the new Pleasants’ location in Hanover County which opened in March 2020.
The recent grand opening celebration included grilling demos from Traeger and Big Green Egg, special discounts and giveaways throughout the day, and the company’s traditional board cutting ceremony.
The store is conveniently located in the Powhatan Shoppes.
“We’re working hard to expand to best meet the needs of our neighbors in the Greater Richmond market and excited to now be a part of the Powhatan community,” said Taylor.
