Property Features and Assets:
Famous for its breakfasts and homemade pies, the Café also serves lunch and dinner. The dining fare is popular American-style comfort food and features something delicious that is sure to be one someone’s list of favorites. The remodeled casino and bar see a brisk business. Despite the recent economic challenges seen nationally, the casino volume has been pleasantly strong.
The Red Lodge Café is a charming historic home-style café complete with the original totem poles, authentic metal ceiling, and antique skis. The tables and chairs are brand new. The café connects to a newly remodeled western style bar, complete with a casino in the back. The bar/casino has a separate entrance. The distinctive sign is a beacon to locals and draws tourists on their way to ski, hike, or visit Yellowstone National Park as they pass through the heart of Red Lodge.
Market Competition and Expansion:
The Red Lodge Cafe has an excellent location in the heart of Red Lodge’s main thoroughfare. For the most part, Red Lodge attracts a strong visitor base from Billings, Montana’s largest city year round, and especially in the summer and winter for ski season. In addition, it sees a brisk summer tourism season from across the US. Although the business competes with several restaurant/bar/casinos, it is well positioned through location and reputation to draw a solid customer base. Breakfast is a huge draw for the Café and the casino has seen excellent traffic, even with the recent national economic recession.
The design of the facility and shortage of space on either side of the facilities prohibit size expansion. There is certainly enough room in the café and bar to increase the volume of business. It would be possible to add live poker to the casino side.
