Foxtrot and Dom’s suddenly closed all of their stores on Tuesday. This news is sad and frustrating on many levels. Employees were only given a few hours notice that they would be losing their jobs. The stores were known for stocking their shelves with products from diverse and small businesses, many of which have now lost their largest client. Even worse, some of these small businesses are now saying that Foxtrot hasn’t paid their invoices in quite some time.
In an effort to support the businesses negatively impacted by Foxtrot and Dom’s shuttering, I have assembled a list of products and how to buy them. Please email thekittchen@gmail.com if you have any additions to the list.
Outstanding questions: People would love to know where to buy the gummy candies and the Foxtrot-branded potato chips. Share the information if you can.
To the businesses impacted by the Foxtrot and Dom’s closure, HereHere Market in Chicago is stepping in to fill the void. They are offering a fee-free first month to food creators who join their platform. Find out more here.
