JC Edwards & Son was founded in 1947 by Jerry Edwards. Twenty years later, his son Bob Edwards set up a small store front located on Adams Street (Downtown Peoria). Throughout the years, JC Edwards & Son was often referred to by many Central Illinois businesses as the “Little shop on Adams”. Truck drivers often stopped in to purchase hand trucks, pallet jacks, and dollies for their daily deliveries. Bob Edwards was always happy to assist with their material handling needs and equally important, always enjoyed taking the time to discuss the local news stories of the day.

The “Warehouse District”, where JC Edwards & Son was first located, has recently been transformed by the determined business community of Peoria and is now considered a vibrant, mixed-use residential and commercial neighborhood just blocks away from the Illinois River. Home to many cultural and entertainment venues, it is a favorite destination for many local residents and tourists.

In 1991, Bob retired and sold JC Edwards & Son to Diane Jones who continued to grow the business and shortly thereafter, relocated operations to a larger facility in Peoria’s Industrial Pioneer Park area on the near Northside of town where it is still located today.

In 2010, JC Edwards & Son, Inc. returned to the Edwards family when it was acquired by Greg Davis who is the grandson of Bob Edwards. The legacy of his grandfather and the success of the family business is extremely important to Greg. With his passion, leadership, and the foresight of his current management team, the business continues to experience steady growth while serving Central Illinois and beyond.
