Two popular grocery chains, Foxtrot and Dom’s Kitchen & Market, have closed several locations across Chicago following a merger. The closures have left customers disappointed and employees frustrated. The merger, announced in November 2023, created Outfox Hospitality. Despite initial hopes for growth, the company has struggled financially and has laid off employees. Outfox Hospitality says it explored several options before deciding to close the stores. Customers are now forced to find alternatives for their grocery needs, while employees are concerned about the loss of income.
