Foxtrot, a hybrid convenience store, cafe and delivery market, is increasing its store count in Texas.
The Chicago-based retailer opened its first Austin location in February. The second Austin store opened on June 5. Foxtrot will open its third location in Austin on July 22. And later this year, Foxtrot will open a new location on the campus of The University of Texas at Austin.
The new store to open this weekend is situated within the Austin City Hall, in the city’s 2nd Street District.
The store will offer its signature all-day café experience, along with grocery items that include local products such as Chop Chop Ramen, Lick Honest Ice Creams and more.
Earlier this year, Foxtrot CEO Mike LaVitola told CSP sister publication Winsight Grocery Business about the company’s plans for growth in its current four markets of Chicago, Dallas, Austin and the Washington, D.C./Maryland/Virginia (DMV) area.
“We are continuing to focus on new-store expansion and our e-commerce operations,” LaVitola said. “For the remainder of the year, we will be expanding in these four regions.”
Looking to broaden its brick-and-mortar leadership strategy, earlier this year the retailer promoted Liz Williams as its new CEO. Williams now oversees the retailer's growth in its current markets of Chicago, Washington, D.C., Dallas, Austin and in new markets across the country.
Foxtrot now operates 28 stores.
