J Thompson Tops was founded in 1982 by current owner John Thompson and his father Wayne Thompson, under the name Triad Butcher Block. The young company first specialized in chopping blocks, cutting boards, and kitchen carts. A few patents were even obtained. The company capitalized on these patents and began to gain market share in the kitchen specialty space — until competitors began to replicate the young company’s products at a lower price point. John then decided on doing more custom work, which is where the company’s values of craftsmanship and quality would become more evident. Thus, the business pivoted and began fabricating custom wood surfaces.
