Pearl Grant Richmans is a family owned and operated department store that has served the Capital District for over 50 years, spanning three generations of family. One of the few remaining original tenants of Stuyvesant Plaza, Pearl Grant Richmans continues to provide unique gifts and cards with unmatched service.

In 1959 Jerome and Rose Richman opened the original Richmans, just a few doors down from our present location in Stuyvesant Plaza. When Pearl Grant decided to sell her store in 1966, Jerome and Rose bought it and added on the name Richmans to become Pearl Grant Richmans. Barry Richman, their son and present owner, grew up in the store, working through his youth. After college, Barry and his wife Nancy joined the family business. Today, they are very proud to have their son Michael and his wife Molly actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the store. 

The store has grown and changed through the years. In fact, since Barry, Nancy, Michael and Molly are all buyers for the store it creates a unique diversity to our products and style. Our eclectic mix encompasses everything from chocolates to china and includes fine crystal, dinnerware, gourmet food, American-made hand crafts, woman’s accessories (handbags, scarves, clothing and jewelry) and much more. We are known in the area for our tremendous selection of upscale paper products, unique cards and custom stationery/ wedding invitations. Our knowledgeable staff is always on-hand to answer questions on product and help you with your purchases. As always, gift wrapping is provided by our staff at no extra charge. Please come in and explore, you are sure to find that unique gift you’re looking for, plus a little something for yourself.
