When Stonegate Pub Co. http://www.stonegatepubs.com/ Chairman Ian Payne needed a name for the newest chain of bars he was introducing to the United Kingdom, his first thought was of his favorite town in Montana.

"When we bought the business they were called Lakota, and somebody already owned the brand name. We had to find a change of name, I just thought of my favorite town in Montana, which is Missoula. We come to Montana on holiday every year. We love it very much indeed," said Payne, who heads Stonegate and its 550 bars around the U.K. Fifteen bars are named "Missoula."

Payne’s affinity for Montana came out of a fascination with the United States.
