F.T. Reynolds opened the first Reynolds on Bell Street in Glendive on March 21, 1925, the same day his son Paul was born, according to the Glendive Ranger-Review. He had come to Montana in 1909 and learned the trade driving deliveries and clerking at other stores.
The chain grew to Baker, Glasgow, Beach, Circle, Richey, Wibaux, Terry and Miles City. Fires took the Wibaux store in 1929 and the Glendive store in 1932. During the Depression the store let customers buy on account, sometimes getting paid twice a year, and took farm produce as payment, the paper reported. Hungarian immigrant John Marman managed Reynolds stores for nearly 50 years.
Four stores remain: Glendive, Sidney, Baker and Glasgow. The Miles City store closed in January 2025. The company marked its 100th year with events in each town, including a community dance in Glendive.
