The Bridge Stop is a chain of eight family owned convenience stores in the Chippewa Valley. The original Bridge Stop store, located in New Auburn, was built by Lowell Trowbridge and family in December of 1989, and has been in business ever since. Managed by Lowell Trowbridge, and his wife Susan, the company's values were to provide fast, friendly service while maintaining a small business atmosphere that felt like home.

Now operated by Dwain and Lori Trowbridge, these values are just as important in 2010 as they were in 1989. These values, along with appreciation and concern for the customer, brought success, and with that success came expansion. The second Bridge Stop location was opened in Wheeler, Wisconsin in August of 2006. Since then, six other stores have been added to the Bridge Stop name. One in Bloomer, Wisconsin, and five in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. For more information about a specific Bridge Stop location, click on the links immediately below this section.
