Family legacy in Edgartown, Massachusetts

E.C. Cottle, Inc. is a store located at 137 Edgartown Road in Edgartown, Massachusetts, United States. The institution was founded by Mr. Edmund Charles Cottle, who started the business in 1965. Mr. Cottle's journey began when tragedy struck his family at a young age, prompting him to quit high school and support his family by farming and haying fields. With the help of generous Islanders and his hard work, he established the lumberyard that is now known as E.C. Cottle, Inc. Over the years, the business expanded to include a branch location in Edgartown in 1986, and a receiving and delivery hub at the Airport Business Park in 2019. Today, E.C. Cottle, Inc. operates three locations and employs over 40 people. The institution is grateful for its founding employees and current staff, who work tirelessly to carry on Mr. Cottle's memory since his passing in 2018.
