Summit Roasting Company signed a five-year lease at 112 East Main Street last Tuesday. The space previously housed a vintage typewriter repair shop that paid $1,800 per month. Summit will pay $6,200.

Owner Dale Henderickson founded Summit in a Belgrade garage in 2006. His original location on Broadway Street still sells a twelve-ounce drip for two dollars and fifty cents. The new Main Street menu lists a single-origin pour-over at eight dollars. A cold brew flight with tasting notes is fourteen.

“We’re not changing the Belgrade prices,” Henderickson said by phone Wednesday. “This is a different concept. Curated experience. Educational component. The flight comes with a flavor wheel.” He declined to share revenue projections. The lease includes a percentage-rent clause above $450,000 gross.

The build-out cost $340,000. Reclaimed barn wood from a Three Forks dairy. Custom ceramic drippers from a Bozeman potter who fires in a gas kiln. Espresso machine imported from Milan. The previous tenant’s typewriter collection remains in the basement. The landlord declined to comment.

Summit employs six at the Belgrade roastery. The Main Street location will hire four baristas at eighteen dollars per hour plus tips. Henderickson said he hopes to source pastries from a Belgrade bakery that sells croissants for three dollars. The Main Street markup has not been finalized.

A line formed at 6:30 a.m. Friday. The first customer was a visiting professor from Missoula. He ordered the flight. He said it reminded him of Portland.
