Property Description
Ford's Department Store is a 75-year Bitterroot Valley institution. The business includes an active retail operation with experienced
staff, an established point-of-sale system, and an estimated $700,000 in retail inventory (at retail
value). Fixtures and equipment are included. Notably, ownership is continuing to operate and
actively replenish inventory through the transition — the business will transfer to a new owner
as a fully stocked, going-concern operation.
The current ownership has been deliberate stewards of this community legacy. The sellers'
preference is to find a buyer who recognizes the value of what has been built and continue its legacy.
Buyer inquiries are subject to execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Additional financial
documentation, and operational detail will be provided upon NDA completion. Commercial Flexibility
The ground floor footprint — with its high ceilings, wide open layout, and established loading
and access — accommodates an enormous range of retail, hospitality, office, or mixed-use
concepts. Downtown Hamilton's growing foot traffic and tourism profile make this a particularly
attractive destination address & business.
Hamilton is the county seat of Ravalli County and the commercial hub of the Bitterroot Valley —
one of Montana's fastest-growing regions. With strong in-migration, a thriving outdoor recreation
economy, and a tight inventory of quality commercial properties, Hamilton presents a compelling
long-term investment environment.
• Growing population base with strong local and regional retail demand
• Significant tourism draw from fly fishing, hunting, hiking, and the Bitterroot River corridor
• Limited quality commercial inventory in the downtown core — this offering is genuinely
rare
• Proximity to Missoula (approximately 45 miles north) with easy access to a regional
employment and amenity base
What's Included:
Business Only
Ford's inventory, fixtures,
POS, goodwill, staff
transition & vendor contacts and history
$499,900
Buildings are offered in MLS # 30073930 or # 30073742 with business.
