Foxtrot was a chain of convenience stores launched in Chicago in 2015, which also functioned as cafés, wine bars, and venues for community gatherings. The brand specialized in offering groceries, wines, and products sourced locally, with outlets situated in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, Dallas, Austin, and Chicago.
In November 2023, Foxtrot revealed its merger with Dom's Kitchen & Market, a high-end grocery retailer operating two locations, leading to the creation of Outfox Hospitality.
By January 2024, Foxtrot had expanded to its 33rd store, marking its 10th presence in Washington, D.C. Placer.ai identified Foxtrot as one of the leading "hot brands" for 2024, alongside Trader Joe's, emphasizing its popularity among consumers interested in wine and healthy lifestyle options.
On April 23, 2024, all Foxtrot stores were suddenly closed, with the company announcing intentions to seek bankruptcy protection. The next day, Outfox Hospitality became subject to a class action lawsuit in Chicago concerning alleged labor law breaches connected to the abrupt closures.
On May 15, 2024, both Foxtrot and Dom's Kitchen proceeded with Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings to initiate liquidation.
