Chicago-based food retailers Foxtrot Market and Dom’s Kitchen & Market have merged with the shared vision of redefining food shopping and dining experiences. Foxtrot Market and Dom’s Kitchen & Market now fall under a new entity – Outfox Hospitality.
Jay Owen, co-founder and board chairman, said Dom’s has long admired the Foxtrot brand as an industry trailblazer and a market disruptor. “Our shared vision centers on bringing the convenience of a market together with the experience of a restaurant into hospitable spaces that are destinations in the communities we serve. We do this by curating high-quality goods, preparing expertly crafted meals, and delivering warm and friendly service.”
Liz Williams, CEO of Outfox Hospitality, said Foxtrot was created with the vision of building a community of people who love to discover new and interesting products. “We’re excited about this new venture with Dom’s Kitchen & Market because we share a common mission of modernizing the way people shop. Merging our two brands will elevate the experience of our customers and move the retail industry forward.”
Williams expressed the thrill of sharing Foxtrot cult favorites like their gummy candies, savory snacks, and unique wines with the Dom’s community. They will also bring Dom’s delicious, expertly prepared meal options to local Foxtrot stores. “In addition to our markets, our café and coffee businesses are at the heart of our stores and we look forward to continued growth through our partnership. Together, we will bring together community, convenience, and curated culinary to create a unique experience for consumers.”
Through the merger-ship, the two companies will provide fan-favorite food and wines from both brands across all stores. Together, they will disrupt the food shopping and café landscape while redefining the neighborhood market with a multi-format and e-commerce experience built for the next-generation consumer.
