[BUTTE, MT - June 15, 2026] — After nearly six decades and three generations of helping families go camping and boating, Bretz RV & Marine is pleased to announce the expansion of their dealership in Butte, MT. Upon completion, Butte will be home to the newest, most state-of-the-art facility among the dealer’s nine locations across the northern United States. The Bretz family now operates stores in Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Minnesota.
Founded in Missoula, MT, in 1967, Bretz RV & Marine opened their Butte location in June of 2023 on the site of the former Copper City RV. The company’s third Montana location, a close family tie to the city made the expansion into the Mining City an important addition to the Bretz RV & Marine brand.
“We needed a location centrally located in the state, and ultimately, Butte won for a number of reasons. Great people, a helpful group of municipal leaders, and the fact that I was lucky enough to marry a Butte girl years ago,” said Dustin Bretz. “Family and community are such an important part of what we do; growing with Butte is an honor for us.”
Leading the project, Jay Fortune Construction, which has served Butte and Southwest Montana for more than 30 years, will be the general contractor.
“It’s important to us to work with local contractors who support area families. Jay and Justin Fortune have put together an incredible group of Butte and Anaconda subcontractors to complete our project,” said Bretz
Construction is underway on land adjacent to the existing dealership building. Bretz RV & Marine’s Butte footprint will cover 38,000 square feet of building space on 20 acres of land. The dealership will feature 11,000 square feet of modern showroom space for premier RVs and boats from industry leaders, including Grand Design, Brinkley, Keystone, and Barletta.
The new building will also expand Bretz RV & Marine’s service offerings with 14 state-of-the-art service bays, helping customers get back on the road quickly when the unexpected happens.
“Our buying power allows us to help families experience camping and boating at a price that other companies can’t offer,” Bretz shared. “In addition to that, our family is committed to investing in service capabilities unlike any other dealership in the entire region. We believe if we’re going to sell it, we better be able to service our customers for years down the road”.
A key component of Bretz RV & Marine’s growth in Butte will be an expanded local team. In the long term, the dealership could exceed 80 employees, with roles ranging from sales and service to support functions. The Bretz family wants to speak with anyone interested in joining this exciting opportunity.
With construction underway, the new dealership location in Butte is expected to be complete in the summer of 2027.
