Buttrey Food & Drug Stores Embroidered Dad Cap Hat
Product Details & Size Guide
Celebrate a familiar name in regional retail with this Buttrey Food & Drug Stores dad cap. Frank A. Buttrey opened his first small store in Montana in 1896, and the company later grew into a grocery chain serving Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota. From its Great Falls headquarters to the Big Fresh format introduced in 1995, Buttrey’s changing identity reflects decades of local shopping history. A thoughtful choice for collectors and anyone who remembers the brand.
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.
