Blanton & Pleasants Inc. is a long-standing, family-owned business that has been a staple in the Cartersville Village community for generations. Described as a "neat place with things [customers] would love to purchase," the store is a one-stop-shop that offers a wide range of products, from quality meats and grocery items to hardware, farming supplies, and even a barber shop. Before the arrival of larger retail chains, Blanton & Pleasants was the go-to destination for the community, offering everything from plumbing and electrical supplies to fishing equipment and bicycles. The store has been a part of the area's history, with multiple generations of the Pleasants family having managed the business over the years. Despite the changing retail landscape, Blanton & Pleasants has maintained its charm and character, with customers praising the "most welcoming staff" and the "old country store" atmosphere. The current proprietor, Spanky Pleasants, and his wife June, have continued to keep the doors open, providing a unique shopping experience that harks back to a simpler time. While the store may not be as comprehensive as it once was, it still offers hard-to-find items and a sense of nostalgia for those who remember the Blanton & Pleasants of old. As one customer notes, "it's still a great little place to shop for different stuff, but nothing like it used to be. But if you are searching for a little Shop that has something for everyone, this is still that little place. Hometown Shopping at its best."
Lovely (and historical) shop! Can't wait to go back and explore it more.

If you've never been here before, you need to come check it out! It's like stepping back in time! That's a place where you can go get an old school glass bottled soda, get your haircut, pick up some fishing tackle, Hardware or Feed and Seed all in the same place!

Love this place. They have everything and anything. Antiques, general store candy, modern tools and hardware supplies. Just amazing, and while your shopping you can also get the perfect hair cut from Spanky himself.
