Food, fitness come to Montana City

A cherished Montana City restaurant has reopened, and now there’s a new place in town to burn off those calories, too.

FireTower Athletics opened on June 15, and, under new owners, The Hardware Cafe opened for the first time in two years on Sept. 1, and both are settling in well in their new community.

“This new space is a better fit than our old one,” FireTower Athletics owner Jay Mattfeldt said. The gym had to move from its rented space in Helena when the landlord sold the building, he said.
