Michael Woods, owner of Ed and Sons AutoGlass, Inc., says one thing he’s learned about running a business is how you interact with patrons.

“You treat your customers like family,” he said.

Woods has spent 42 years working at Ed and Sons, which has been in town 55 years.

“My father started this business and as a young child I learned the business,” he said.

According to Woods, what makes his business unique is that it is family owned and operated.

While he does not hold a position in the MSBA, Woods’ wife, Lisa, attends meetings.

“She enjoys learning from other town business members,” he said.

“[It’s a] great town to be in business,” Michael added.

Asked what the greatest challenge the Maple Shade Business Association faces, he replied “the current pandemic.”

A lifelong Shader (58 years), Michael is a graduate of Maple Shade High School who said spending “time with my family” is what he likes to do when he’s not working.
