C.E. Thompson & Sons Corp. is located in historic Edinburg on 201 Stoney Creek Blvd., we have been serving Shenandoah County since 1958. After working many years in the construction business, Mr. Clarence E. Thompson (C.E.) and his sons William (Billy) and John Thompson saw a need for a building materials supply and a construction company. C.E. was a construction foreman for the CCC's at Camp Roosevelt and later worked construction jobs in Pennsylvania sending money home to his family. He passed his lifelong skills on to his sons Billy and Johnny.

After stints in the United States Navy, Billy and Johnny, along with their father, took their know-how to Newman Building Materials in Timberville. All three could see a better life in their future by having a business of their own, therefore they each put $3000.00 of their own money into starting C.E. Thompson & Sons Corp. They started out as a small hardware store carrying Pittsburgh Paint and numerous building materials and a construction company. The original business was in the former King Cola bottling plant (now Three Brothers Used Furniture) on West Piccadilly Street in Edinburg. After sixteen years they outgrew the location on Piccadilly Street and in 1974 the business moved to its present location. The back part of the present location had been a Studebaker warehouse and an apple packing plant. The Thompsons' used their carpentry skills and added a metal building on to the front for the showroom.
