Foxtrot Market Closing 15 Chicago Locations

CHICAGO — Foxtrot Market, a Chicago-based chain of high-end coffee shops and convenience stores, announced on Tuesday it had shut down all its locations.

A note on Foxtrot's website said all stores closed on April 23. The brand had 33 Foxtrot locations and two Dom's Kitchen locations in the Chicago, Washington, D.C., Austin and Dallas areas.

The closing announcement noted there was "no viable option" to continue the business.

"We understand this news may come as a shock, and we apologize for any inconvenience it may cause," the business stated. "We genuinely appreciate your understanding during this challenging time."

The business had 15 Chicago Foxtrot locations in the areas of Lincoln Park, West Loop, Wicker Park, East Lakeview, River North, Southport, Old Town, Gold Coast, Fulton Market, Streeterville, Tribune Tower, Willis Tower, Wrigley Field, Hubbard Street, and Milwaukee and Damen avenues. Dom's Kitchen's two locations were in Lincoln Park and Old Town.

The café offered coffees, seasonal drinks, fresh smoothies, breakfast tacos, chef-prepared salads and bowls, and grab-and-go meals for lunch and dinner. The market sold everyday essentials, plus local craft beers and wines hand-selected by an in-house sommelier.

Foxtrot thanked customers and staff for their support over the years.

"It has been our highest honor to elevate the everyday and create a remarkable shopping experience for people who love food as much as we do," the business shared. "It has been a privilege serving you and being part of your everyday lives."
