EDITORâS NOTE:
The Buy it in Butte initiative is a unified, collaborative effort on the part of Butte media, the Butte Chamber of Commerce, Butte Local Development Corp. and local businesses to promote shopping local this holiday season. As a part of that initiative, The Montana Standard will be profiling some of the participating businesses each week in December.
In the midst of the pandemic, it may not be âbusiness as usualâ but the Butte men and women featured here are finding innovative ways to keep their doors open.Â
Lydiaâs Supper Club, 4915 Harrison Ave., is one such business. The iconic Butte establishment has served up elegant dining since 1946.
