Small Montana Town Protests Strip Club

Chouteau County has no zoning regulations on strip clubs

By Dillon Tabish

GREAT FALLS — The residents of the tiny Montana town of Carter are upset that the only bar in town is being turned into a strip club.

Chouteau County has no zoning regulations on strip clubs, so eleven of the town’s 58 residents have written letters protesting the transfer of the liquor license to the new owner of Paradise LLC.

The club, about 25 miles northeast of Great Falls, has been operating since Dec. 20 using the former owner’s liquor license with her permission.

Residents are concerned it’s right across the road from the elementary school while others wonder how it could stay in business in such a rural area.

Assistant manager Dayamond Paradise told the Great Falls Tribune they’re looking at arranging shuttle buses for customers from Great Falls.
