About Us
"Supporting Local, Building Relationships, and Fueling Community Growth"
Three Mountain Distributing was born out of a passion for community and a commitment to helping local small businesses thrive. Founded in May 2024, our company is the continuation of a legacy that began with Happy Guys Wholesale in 2016. Cecil and Connie, the original founders, saw a crucial need for a wholesaler who could provide small businesses in Montana with the products they needed to succeed. When they were ready to retire, they entrusted us—Chad and Caitlin—with the responsibility of carrying on their vision.

“Working with Caitlin and Chad of Three Mountain Distributing has been delightful. They have both gone out of their way to answer any product questions I have as well as help me find and sample new products I am interested in. They have made ordering and returning mis-picks so easy that I am increasing the products I purchase through them. Caitlin is wonderful at answering any billing questions I have and is always very good at getting back to me quickly. Chad knows my store and is able to add a personal touch when recommending any products. He is very helpful in making sure my order is correct and notices when something is different, which I really appreciate! It helps me keep track of everything during the busy season. I feel really lucky and grateful to have them as our main vendor.”
