More about Chick-fil-A Butte
- Restaurant Details: Located at 102 Cornerstone Place, Chick-fil-A Butte will serve Guests Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., offering dine-in, drive-thru, carry-out, delivery and catering. The restaurant brings approximately 100 jobs to the community.
- Locally Owned and Operated: Chick-fil-A, Inc. has selected Calder Prevatt to serve as the local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Butte.
- A long-time Montana resident, Prevatt built a strong affinity for Chick-fil-A through years of travel while working in healthcare and manufacturing, visiting more than 130 restaurants nationwide and developing a deep appreciation for the brand’s unique sense of hospitality and community.
- Inspired to pursue restaurant ownership by a close friend he met at Chick-fil-A, Prevatt was drawn to Montana’s growth potential. He looks forward to investing in the Butte community by creating opportunities for Team Members and building a welcoming space for Guests to connect.
- “I was introduced to Chick-fil-A at a young age while visiting my grandmother, and over the years, my connection to the brand grew as I experienced the signature hospitality in communities across the country,” said Prevatt. “After living in Belgrade for several years, I saw the opportunity to introduce this brand to more communities in Montana, and I’m honored to bring Chick-fil-A to Butte to create a place where Guests and Team Members feel welcomed and supported.”
- Opening Day Moove-In Party: To celebrate the restaurant moo-ving into town, Prevatt and
his team are inviting the community to show off their cow spots on opening day for a free entrée.- Since 1995, the Cows have been a beloved part of Chick-fil-A, encouraging humans to skip burgers and “Eat More Chikin” – and now it’s Butte’s turn to join the herd.
- Guests dressed in cow print – whether it’s a full cow costume or a simple cow-spotted accessory – can enjoy one free entrée or kid’s meal* in person inside the restaurant or in the drive-thru.
- Caring for the Butte Community: Prevatt is committed to giving back to the Butte community by:
- Celebrating the opening with a $25,000 donation from Chick-fil-A, Inc. to Feeding America to support local hunger relief efforts of Montana Food Bank, a partner food bank, in honor of the new restaurant.
- Participating in the Chick-fil-A Shared Table® program, which redirects surplus food to local nonprofits.
