Foxtrot, the gourmet grocery store and café that opened an Alexandria location in April 2022, is closing effective immediately.
Foxtrot’s Old Town Alexandria location is at 701 King St., at the corner of Washington Street. The company also has locations in Chicago, Dallas and Washington, D.C.
The closure is part of a nationwide end of business operations for both Foxtrot and Dom's Kitchen.
In an email to customers sent Tuesday just after noon, the companies wrote, "It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you of a difficult decision we have had to make. After much consideration and evaluation, we regret to announce that Foxtrot and Dom’s Kitchen & Market will be closing their doors starting on April 23, 2024. The closure affects 2 Dom’s stores and 33 Foxtrots across Chicago, Austin, Dallas, DC areas. We explored many avenues to continue the business but found no viable option despite good faith and exhaustive efforts."
The closure came as a complete surprise to employees of the company. Several employees of the company have filed a class-action lawsuit alleging labor violations related to the abrupt closure.
