"There are a few Foxtrot Markets around town, and most of them focus on upscale groceries, booze, and things like $30 candles. But the one in Old Town serves breakfast all-day too, with things like bagel sandwiches and spicy chicken biscuits. It’s the perfect stop when you need a quick bite to go along with a pint of Jeni’s, a bottle of Chardonnay, and compostable garbage bags." - josh barnett
"An upscale corner-store chain known for trendy snacks and merchandise sourced from Chicago’s restaurant community, it stocked local products such as specialty ice cream brands and in one location shared space with Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. The chain suddenly closed in April, leaving unpaid vendor bills and prompting worker lawsuits alleging inadequate closure notice and unpaid wages. The founder, Mike LaVitola, who was not running the prior parent company when operations ceased, is leading a reboot under a newly formed entity backed by an investment fund that purchased the assets at auction for $2.2 million; he has been working to reestablish vendor relationships and plans to reopen roughly 15 stores (mostly in Chicago and some in Austin). Liquor-license filings indicate planned reopenings in Old Town, Fulton Market, Wicker Park and the Gold Coast, though two North Side locations at 900 W. Armitage Avenue and 3334 N. Southport Avenue will not be part of the comeback plan." - Ashok Selvam
"Local corner store and liquor delivery chain Foxtrot Market opened its ninth Chicago outpost, emphasizing dine-in service with two bars and an in-house sommelier." - aimee.levitt
"I observed that trendy snack-shop chain Foxtrot Market is slated to take over a prominent corner space at 1576 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park, a site with a long restaurant history including the Publican Anker and Cafe Cancale." - Naomi Waxman
"The Foxtrot chain has locations across Chicago’s North Side. They’re convenient stores, offering delivery of alcohol and other items, and some locations have bars and food. At the Lakeview location on Southport and the River North location at Wells and Hubbard, customers can order a CBD highball. CBD is also offered as an add-on for other drinks. The chain has plans for more CBD drinks in the future, including a slushie at the Lincoln Park location’s pick-up window." - Naomi Waxman
