J. Pascal's Hardware and Furniture was a Montreal, Quebec retailer of hardware stores and furnitures stores. J.Pascal had long been a hardware chain only, but subsequently expanded to furniture retailing. Although they both worked under the trade name "Pascal", shared a common logo and went out of business at the same time; the hardware chain and furniture chain were kept separate in terms of operations and outlets. The hardwares stores were found mostly in shopping malls and commercial streets while the furnitures stores were in strip malls. J.Pascal was in business for more than 80 years and operated 20 hardware and furniture stores in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick before going bankrupt in 1990; having never paid back its creditor the Bank of Montreal. Throughout its long existence, J.Pascal had always been a family business.

Trivia
J.Pascal's furniture division has no connection with the small Montreal furniture retailer Club Meuble Pascal. Club Meuble Pascal emerged after J.Pascal's bankruptcy but was eventually forced to change it's name because of the confusion with the bankrupt company.
