The development offers a regional draw with its prime location on Jackrabbit Lane, one of Montana’s busiest roads, just ¾ mile south of the Interstate. It is situated in the primary corridor between Yellowstone International Airport, Yellowstone National Park and Big Sky, Montana, areas that attract millions of visitors annually.

Rosauers serves the Inland Pacific Northwest, with over 20 stores located throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
