Foxtrot Market

Foxtrot Market is a Chicago-based boutique grocer and café that reimagines the traditional corner store experience by offering a curated selection of daily essentials, gourmet foods, and artisanal products. Founded in 2015, Foxtrot quickly gained popularity for its unique blend of convenience and quality.

The company operates both physical locations and a robust online platform, allowing customers to shop in-store or have products delivered. Their offerings include fresh produce, specialty groceries, prepared meals, and a selection of local craft beers and wines.

Foxtrot also features a café area where patrons can enjoy freshly brewed coffee, pastries, and other café-style offerings. This creates a welcoming environment for both shopping and socializing, merging convenience with comfort.

Company History and Developments

In November 2023, Foxtrot Market merged with Dom's Kitchen & Market, another Chicago-based food retailer. This merger formed Outfox Hospitality, aiming to redefine food shopping and dining experiences by combining both brands' strengths.

However, in April 2024, Outfox Hospitality announced the sudden closure of all Foxtrot and Dom's Kitchen & Market locations. This included 33 Foxtrot stores across Chicago, Austin, Dallas, and Washington, D.C., plus two Dom's locations. The company cited the inability to find a viable option to continue the business.

Following the closures, there have been discussions about potential reopenings. In June 2024, Foxtrot announced plans to reopen locations in Chicago, Austin, and Dallas, signaling a fresh start for the brand.

In February 2025, renowned restaurateur Danny Meyer signed a lease for the former Foxtrot Market space in Dupont Circle, Washington, D.C. He plans to open a branch of his popular all-day café and bakery, Daily Provisions, in this location.

Foxtrot Market remains committed to delivering a modern alternative to conventional convenience stores through thoughtful curation and customer-centered services.
