I know this is several years old, but I remember Buttrey’s! We lived in Billings from ’79-’83, when I was between 10-14, and I can vividly remember shopping at Buttrey’s. It’s sad to hear that the name isn’t being used anymore.

I moved to Great Falls in 1995 when Buttrey’s was still around. They had just launched their “Buttrey’s Big Fresh” look with the sun logo and I affectionately called it, “The Big Fresh Butt!” And of course, the small Buttrey’s downtown I called the “Little Butt!” I do miss “Montana’s Own…”

Before my time. But I still miss it whenever I drive past that gigantic empty wasteland of a warehouse…

We still call the supermarket on 13th and Grand “Buttreys.” That was our neighborhood grocery store, and was in the Buttrey’s Shopping Center. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I couldn’t think what store it was… but I remember Buttrey’s. It was our favourite grocery store in Great Falls. The meat was fresh, the produce was good, and the bread was WONDERFUL.

Sad to hear it’s gone away. So many of the good old stores are gone.

Remember it? Heck, I lived it…my first real job in high school was working at the Buttrey’s in Helena. I still have traumatic flashbacks. Love the old advertising; they used to do a lot of it right here in Great Falls at corporate H.Q.
