Chick-fil-A Opens in Butte: Location, Hours, Menu and Everything You Need to Know
Butte’s newest fast-food restaurant has officially arrived, bringing one of America’s most popular chicken chains to Cornerstone Plaza on Harrison Avenue.
After years of anticipation, one of the most requested restaurant chains in Butte has officially opened its doors.
Chick-fil-A Butte began serving customers on June 11, becoming the first of four new Chick-fil-A locations planned across Montana through 2027. The opening marks a major milestone for Cornerstone Plaza, the rapidly growing commercial development on Harrison Avenue that has already brought new national brands to the Mining City.
Quick Details
Restaurant: Chick-fil-A Butte
Opening Date: June 11
Location: Cornerstone Plaza on Harrison Avenue near Bert Mooney Airport
Operator: Calder Prevatt
Closed: Sundays
Where Is Chick-fil-A Located?
The new restaurant is located in Cornerstone Plaza on Harrison Avenue near Bert Mooney Airport, one of Butte’s largest new commercial developments. The plaza has transformed a previously undeveloped area into a retail and restaurant hub that now includes Chipotle, Planet Fitness, Jersey Mike’s and other national retailers.
The Chick-fil-A building itself occupies approximately 4,927 square feet on more than two acres of land and was built with a dual drive-thru design intended to help handle the heavy traffic expected from local residents and travelers passing through Butte on Interstate 90 and Interstate 15.
Why This Opening Is Such a Big Deal
For years, Butte residents have had to drive to Billings, Missoula, Bozeman or Kalispell to get Chick-fil-A. The company announced plans to enter the Butte market as part of a broader Montana expansion effort, citing strong community demand and the city’s strategic location at the crossroads of two major interstate highways.
The arrival of Chick-fil-A is also viewed as a significant economic development win for Butte. Earlier estimates projected a construction investment of more than $5 million, with the restaurant expected to create dozens of local jobs while attracting additional visitors to the community.
Meet the Local Operator
The Butte restaurant is operated by Calder Prevatt, a longtime Montana resident selected by Chick-fil-A to run the location. Company officials describe Prevatt as passionate about community involvement and local growth, which aligns with Chick-fil-A’s model of having individual owner-operators actively involved in each restaurant’s success.
Grand Opening Celebration
To celebrate opening day, Chick-fil-A hosted a “Moove-In Party,” inviting customers to wear cow-print clothing for a chance to receive a free entrée or kids meal. The event follows a long-standing Chick-fil-A tradition that has become popular at grand openings across the country.
The opening generated significant excitement on social media, with the restaurant’s official Facebook and Instagram pages announcing the June 11 launch date weeks in advance.
What Can Customers Expect?
The Butte location offers the full Chick-fil-A menu, including:
- Original Chicken Sandwich
- Spicy Chicken Sandwich
- Chick-fil-A Nuggets
- Waffle Potato Fries
- Mac & Cheese
- Chicken Biscuits
- Salads and Wraps
- Milkshakes and Specialty Drinks
The restaurant also features drive-thru service and mobile ordering through the Chick-fil-A app.
Hours and Sunday Closure
Like all Chick-fil-A locations nationwide, the Butte restaurant is closed on Sundays. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants operate from approximately 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, although hours may vary by location.
Cornerstone Plaza Continues to Grow
The opening is just one piece of a larger transformation occurring on Butte’s south side. Cornerstone Plaza developers have already brought Chipotle, Planet Fitness, Jersey Mike’s and other national brands to the area, with additional development still planned. Several acres remain available for future retail and commercial projects.
For many residents, Chick-fil-A’s arrival represents more than just another fast-food option. It serves as a visible sign of continued investment in Butte and demonstrates the city’s growing appeal to national brands looking to expand throughout Montana.
Whether you’re a longtime Chick-fil-A fan or trying it for the first time, the wait is finally over. The restaurant is now open and serving customers in Butte.
