Workers closed the M&M and left at 12:30 a.m. and firefighters were called at 3 a.m., said Butte-Silver Bow Fire Marshal Zach Osborne.

May 7, 2021 May 10, 2021 Here s a look at one of Butteâs most historic landmarks from The Montana Standard archives collection. Fire destroyed the iconic M&M Cigar Store in Uptown Butte early Friday morning, taking out the roof and leaving the rest of the building charred and gutted. Nobody was injured but the building was a complete loss. It was closed from 2003-2005 and from 2009-2011 after a run of more than a century where the doors never closed.
