This Old-Fashioned Montana General Store And Motel Has Been In The Same Family Since 1924

Babb, Montana has a population of 72, so calling it a small town would be a bit of an understatement. And while it's safe to say there's not much going on in this tiny Glacier County community on the Blackfeet reservation, it does see an influx of tourists in the summertime who are on their way to Glacier National Park.

Babb's lone general store is open seasonally from May - October. It has also been owned and operated by multiple generations of the same family since 1924.

You'll find Thronson's General Store at 4013 US-89 in Babb.

The building is impossible to miss.

Whether you're heading to Glacier National Park for a few days or you're preparing to hike or fish in the area, stopping here for supplies is a must.

The selection of snacks is fantastic, not to mention the collection of fishing and camping accessories.

Looking to stock up on souvenirs or unique Montana items? This is the place to be.

They even sell locally produced Glacier County Honey, a delicious treat made from east side wildflowers.

Thronson's is also a full-service motel, which always opens in May and closes when the season slows down in the fall.

The convenient location makes it a popular place to stop in the summer.

There are 14 motel rooms and a cabin on-site. Reservations are made over the phone.

The motel has both single and double rooms. Unfortunately, due to the building being extremely old, it is not wheelchair accessible.

Stop by Thronson's General Store for your snacks, drinks, souvenirs, and any forgotten supplies.

It's open daily from 7:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. for your shopping and shelter needs, but if you're visiting after Labor Day weekend, make sure to call them to see if the motel is still open.
