Well folks, it looks like the high-end convenience store chain, Foxtrot Markets, is calling it quits. That’s right, they’ve decided to shut down all 33 of their locations across Chicago, Austin, Dallas, and Washington, D.C. And get this – it’s all happening in a blink of an eye, by the end of Tuesday no less!
But that’s not all, the drama unfolds as Foxtrot Markets recently merged with Dom’s Kitchen & Market, and now both of these fancy-pants stores are waving the white flag. It’s a real head-scratcher, as just a short while ago they formed Outfox Hospitality, and now they’re out of the game. What in the world is going on over there?

And here’s the real kicker – nobody saw it coming! Not the employees, not the store managers, no one. They were all caught off guard, told to pack up and hit the road without any warning. That’s just cold, if you ask me.
Now, the company is sending out a big “goodbye” message on their website, saying they’re grateful for the support and all that jazz. But honestly, it sounds like a whole lot of fluff to cover up this messy situation. They’re also shutting down their phone apps and letting the credits and member benefits expire. Ouch.
Now, the Washington Examiner is knocking on Dom’s door for a comment, so we’ll have to see how this whole thing plays out. But one thing’s for sure, Foxtrot Markets sure knows how to make an exit – whether people like it or not.
