Chicago (WBBM Newsradio) – Dom's Kitchen & Market and Foxtrot, high-end grocery chains that had a prominent presence in Chicago, suddenly closed.
All 33 Foxtrot stores and two Dom's locations in the Chicago, Texas, and Washington, D.C., areas will cease operations immediately.
Many customers learned the news from signs posted at several Foxtrot stores.
Parent company Outfox Hospitality said in a letter posted on its website that the decision was difficult but necessary.
“We have explored numerous avenues to continue our operations, but despite our good faith and exhaustive efforts, we have not found a viable option,” the company wrote.
The two brands, upscale convenience store Foxtrot and upscale grocer Dom's, both originated in Chicago, have merged within six months of each other.
