About Bridges Mercantile

Located in Jenks, Oklahoma, Bridges Mercantile is a proud extension of the Bridges Foundation, a nonprofit organization established in 1964 by parents seeking meaningful opportunities for their loved ones with developmental disabilities. What began as a vision for vocational training and life-skill development has grown into a community-focused initiative dedicated to supporting individuals in building confidence, independence, and a sense of purpose.

Bridges Mercantile carries this mission forward by offering employment opportunities, on-the-job training, and retail experience within a supportive environment. Through this work, we connect individuals to valuable community resources while also providing their families with the tools and support needed for long-term success. Our store serves as a place where empowerment and inclusion come together, creating a lasting impact for both our clients and the community we serve.
