They have 105 restaurants located in all the Canadian provinces except Quebec, and none in the three territories.[1] As of February 2009, Montana's closed their United States locations in Michigan and New York.[2]

History[]

Montana's Cookhouse first opened its doors in 1995 as a subsidiary of Kelsey's. The original idea was thought up by Kelsey's owner Paul Jeffery and its president Nils Kravis. In 1999, Cara Operations (now known as Recipe Unlimited) obtained controlling interest in Kelsey's, including the Montana's chain. Cara completed its acquisition of the entire company 2002.[3]

As of 2015, the chain began rebranding as Montana's BBQ & Bar.
