The town is the headquarters for Centimark, Mylan Laboratories, All-Clad Metalcrafters, Sarris Candies, and the Black Box Corporation. It is also the site of the Southpointe office park, where a branch of the California University of Pennsylvania is located. Yenko Chevrolet, one of largest and most notorious custom muscle car shops of the late 1960s and early 1970s, was also located in Canonsburg. Canonsburg is also home to the Pennsylvania Enforcers.
