Bring a piece of Montana grocery history to your everyday workspace with this Buttrey Food & Drug Stores mouse pad. Frank A. Buttrey began with a small store in 1896, and the business grew into a regional chain serving Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota. Its move to Great Falls, changing store identities, and Big Fresh format all reflect a distinct chapter in retail history. A thoughtful pick for former shoppers, local history fans, and collectors of familiar grocery names.
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.
