Old Bozeman Rest Stop: We Now Know What’s Being Built.
There's been a lot of talk and debate about the old Bozeman rest stop at I-90 and 19th in Bozeman.
The rest stop has been shut down since May of 2023 and was recently demolished as a newer stop was built near Three Forks and many locals have wondered what would happen to such a prime spot of real estate. Would they live it be? Would a new business be built? If so, which one?
It's been a topic of conversation multiple times as folks have given their best guess on what will happen with the area. Many have suggested a new Town Pump. Others have said they believe it will be a fast food joint with the majority hoping for a Chick-fil-A.
We know the area was recently re-zoned and we can tell you that we know what will be heading to the now vacant location....well, kind of. Before we reveal what we know, here's a look at some of the most beloved restaurants in Montana that are no longer around.

What are they going to build at the old Bozeman rest stop?
The owner of the property asked the Bozeman City Commission to re-zone the land to a B2 zone which would make it available to build commercial buildings on the property and the Commission voted unanimously to approve the change.
We now know multiple buildings will be built on the property.
According to NBC Montana, the property's owner has stated that the masterplan for the area will include one of those buildings being a fast food restaurant. So which fast food franchise will it be? McDonalds? Wendy's?

There have been rumors that Jack-In-The-Box could be coming to the area, and of course, Chick-fil-A recently opened a location on campus at MSU, so could this be the spot for the much speculated second location? What would you like to see built on the property?
