It was the middle of the morning when Foxtrot Market staff asked customers to leave, announcing that they’d be closing ‘forever.’ On April 23, 2024 the company, with locations in D.C., Austin, and flagship city, Chicago, wiped their website and replaced it with a goodbye letter stating, “We explored many avenues to continue the business but found no viable option despite good faith and exhaustive efforts.”
The market filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, which has left about 1,000 employees without work.
Foxtrot opened its Dallas doors in 2019, offering an upscale bodega of sorts with coffee and wine served on site. Four locations later and Foxtrot had become an after work meeting spot, casual brunch option, and refuge for remote workers from their mundane home offices.
Loyal customers have taken to X to discuss their shock over a company that raised almost $200 million in funding just last year.
Employees expressed disappointment too. One sign posted on the window of a Chicago location notes “$180,000 in the hole.”

Support Our Cause
Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Texans and our future.
Since day one, our goal here at COURIER Texas has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Texas families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
