Hummm. I was sure there was a "Harry Butt" somewhere in the family.

Did you ever have fun with some of their house brands -- like their paper towels (aka "Butt wipes"), and their cooking oil (ahem, better not discuss further). And you must admit that when you walk by the bakery, just as they take a bunch of hot loaves out of the oven, you enjoy smelling their Butt.

I agree, they are an excellent company. We shop there all the time. You may also recall that one of the older generation of Butt's was a strong Christian -- and refused to sell beer at their stores for years at some loss in profits due to his religious convictions.

Is that a Hairy Butt pun?

BTW, they're still strongly Christian, but have had to make changes to stay in business. They were one of the last stores to open on Sunday, and still have a large selection of religious books in their reading section. They also donate a lot of money to local churches for Vacation Bible School and missionary trips. They have contributed money to several schools for all night non alcohol prom parties (the alternative parties to keep kids from renting hotel rooms and having all night drinkathons).

While the current crowd supports preferential rights for homosexuals.
