The original owners of bankrupt urban convenience-store chain Foxtrot said they are reopening some locations.
This follows the sudden closures of all stores in late April, which came less than six months after Foxtrot and small-format grocer Dom’s Kitchen & Market merged under a new parent company, Outfox Hospitality.
Foxtrot had 33 locations in Chicago, Washington, D.C., Dallas and Austin, Texas. Dom’s had two locations in Chicago.
Further Point Enterprises, an investment firm, bought bankrupt Foxtrot’s assets at an auction, and Foxtrot’s founder Mike LaVitola, has said it will reopen at least four stores in Chicago.
While questions remain about the new Foxtrot, here’s a look back at the history of how it started and what’s happened over the past six years.
