Corner Store Foxtrot Closes Alexandria Location, Others

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Trips to the corner store at Alexandria's busy Washington and King Street intersection are no more. Foxtrot, a café and corner store that expanded to the DC region, announced it shut down its Old Town Alexandria store and all other locations.

A note on Foxtrot's website says all stores closed on April 23. The brand had 33 Foxtrot locations and two Dom's Kitchen locations in the DC, Chicago, 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."

Alexandria's Foxtrot store opened in March 2022 at the corner of Washington and King Streets, replacing the closed Le Pain Quotidien. The two-story Foxtrot location served cafe food and drinks as well as grab-and-go food. It also stocked grocery items, snacks, wines chosen by a sommelier, pantry items and locally-sourced items. Takeout and delivery services were available.

Other DC area locations were in Arlington, Bethesda and DC, the latter of which had seven locations.

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."
