GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate a familiar name from Montana’s grocery past at gatherings, picnics, or game nights. Buttrey began as Frank A. Buttrey’s small store in 1896 and grew into a regional business with shoppers across Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota. Over the years, identities such as Buttrey Food & Drug and Big Fresh marked different chapters in its story. This can cooler offers a simple way to enjoy that history and remember a regional retailer that stayed part of community life for generations.
Frank A. Buttrey opened a small clothing and grocery store in Aldridge, Montana, in 1896. After another store opened at Trailcreek in 1899, he moved to Havre in 1902 and established a general merchandise business, incorporated as F.A. Buttrey Co. in 1909. The company expanded along Montana’s Hi-Line and separated its grocery business as Buttrey Foods, Inc. in 1935. Its grocery headquarters moved from Havre to Great Falls in 1954. Chicago-based Jewel Companies acquired Buttrey Foods in 1966; after Jewel was acquired by American Stores in 1984, Buttrey became a separate company again in 1990. Store identities changed over time, including Buttrey-Osco combination stores, Buttrey Food & Drug, and the Big Fresh format introduced in 1995. Buttrey focused on Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota after selling its remaining Washington stores in 1994. Boise-based Albertsons completed its acquisition in October 1998, retiring the Buttrey name. Many stores became Albertsons locations, while others were sold to Smith’s and SuperValu.
