Foxtrot Shocks the Grocery Industry with Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Filing Just Five Months After Merger

In a shocking turn of events, Foxtrot, the company formed from the merger of Foxtrot and Dom’s Hospitality, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This news comes just five months after the merger took place and resulted in the closure of all Foxtrot stores in Texas, D.C., and Illinois.

The initial report of the bankruptcy was first mentioned in Snaxshot, which pointed out that Dom’s did not place their usual grocery order the week prior. Employees of Foxtrot were notified in a conference call on Tuesday morning that stores would be closing by noon CT and were advised not to discuss this information with customers. With approximately 1,000 workers employed by the company across multiple states, the closure of Foxtrot will have a significant impact.

According to Google Maps, all Dallas locations of Foxtrot are now permanently closed. The brand’s website has also been taken down. Despite reaching out for comment, a representative from Eater Dallas had not received a response by the time of publication. It is unclear what led to this sudden demise of the company but it is certain that it will leave many employees and customers affected by its closure.
