J. Pascal had long been a hardware chain only, but subsequently expanded to furniture retailing.

J. Pascal was in business for almost 90 years and operated 26 hardware and furniture stores in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick before going bankrupt on May 16, 1991.

[4] Pascal Hotel Supplies wasn't affected by the bankruptcy of the parent company and was in operation until 2008.

The remaining part of the Pascals empire specialises in hardware relating to building finishing, e.g., locks and hinges.

It is located on Queen Mary Road in the Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood of Montreal.
