Valerie (Val) Thompson owns the Estes Park Pie Shop & Bakery with her husband Rick, and their 5 year old daughter Haddi. The Thompsons met in Estes Park in high school, graduated from Estes Park High and moved away to pursue careers and higher education opportunities. In 2008, they purchased The Pie Shop and moved back to Estes Park to raise their daughter.
Prior to ownership of the Pie Shop, Valerie owned an independent printing and shipping business in Longmont, and was a Senior Vice President for a large publicly traded property management company based in Denver. Her position with this company led her all over the country for 12 years, so she is happy to be back home in Colorado.
Valerie has served on various Boards of Directors including the Mead Chamber of Commerce and Women in Business-Longmont. As well, she was a charter member of the Mead Rotary Club and integrally involved in the Longmont Small Business Association, Latino Chamber of Commerce (Georgia & Colorado) Longmont Chamber of Commerce, Carbon Valley Chamber of Commerce and Berthoud Chamber of Commerce.
Valerie and her family reside in Estes Park full time - and love it!
