CITYSCAPE // Work is moving ahead to create a Whole Foods Market at 2024 W. Broad St., former home to the original Pleasants Hardware. The old hardware company building and parking lot have been cleared to make way for the new 45,000-square-foot grocery, which is expected to open by Thanksgiving. This will be Whole Foods’ 14th store in Virginia and the specialty grocers’ second in the Richmond area. The store is the first step in the creation of The Sauer Center, a larger retail and office complex that the C.F. Sauer Co. plans to develop near its headquarters and spice manufacturing operation at Broad Street and Hermitage Road.

CITYSCAPE // When complete, the new center is to encompass the grocery store, the former Virginia Department of Taxation building and two warehouses that sit behind the Sauer complex. The company has not released cost estimates, but based on current construction costs, is anticipated to invest at least $20 million to $25 million to create the complex.
