Foxtrot Market merges with Dom's Kitchen

Two Chicago-based food retail brands will join forces with the purpose of better serving customers and expanding mission to redefine food experiences.

Foxtrot Market and Dom's Kitchen & Market have announced an agreement to merge both companies.

The Chicago-based food retailers have a shared vision to redefine food shopping and dining experiences for the local communities they serve. Upon closing, the merger will fall under a new entity, Outfox Hospitality.

"Dom's has long admired the Foxtrot brand, viewing it 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," said Jay Owen, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Dom's.

Together, the two will continue their aim to disrupt the food shopping and cafe landscape while redefining the neighborhood market with a multi-format and ecommerce experience built for the next generation consumer.

"We're excited for 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 for our customers and move the retail industry forward," added Liz Williams, CEO of Outfox Hospitality.

At present, the combined brands have 34 locations in the Chicago, DC, Dallas, and Austin markets. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023 and is subject to customary closing conditions.
