About us

Alvin Bridgers founded Bridgers Coal Company in 1922 and proudly provided the community a place to buy coal for heating. In 1959, his son, Shelton Bridgers, added the farm supply business and we then became Bridgers Coal and Farm Supply. From then on we have sold fertilizer, seed, and chemicals for local farmers. Shelton and his wife Rebecca successfully ran the store for 30 years. Then Shelton's son Glenn Bridgers came to the business in 1993 after working with Farm Bureau Insurance. He added a crop insurance agency to the business. Now Glenn is passing down his knowledge to his son, Ben. Ben is a recent graduate of NC State University and provides our custom application services.

Our family business has provided the community with a local place for coal and farm supplies for nearly a century. We strive to enhance the lives of people in our community by providing goods and services that you can't find anywhere else in Eastern North Carolina.
