Foxtrot Continues Convenience Channel Comeback
CHICAGO — Foxtrot Café & Market will reopen the retailer's second location, situated at 1562 North Wells in the Old Town of Chicago on Sept. 19.
The reopening will feature an expanded coffee experience and a reimagined food offering, both of which the company plans to roll out across all of its reopened stores in the coming months.
The updated and revamped site will now feature:
- A new food menu which includes breakfast tacos with new ingredients, including braised barbacoa, grilled poblano peppers and thick-cut pepper bacon; pressed paninis made with house-developed and fresh baked la boulangerie bread; and farm to bowl salads with both protein-based and vegetarian options available.
- Faster fulfillment times and fresher ingredients for made-to-order meals.
- Exclusive coffee blends from Chicago-based partners, including Metric and Kyoto Black.
- A private rear patio, a 600-square-foot complement to the front patio on Wells Street which includes shaded seating for up to 30 patrons.
"Foxtrot's latest updates, from our beloved gummies, coffee, hot food and CPG [consumer packaged goods] products, continue to embody Foxtrot's commitment to delivering high-quality products with a personal touch," said Foxtrot Chairman Mike LaVitola. "Whether it's through our partnerships with local makers or the innovative brands we showcase, we're constantly evolving to bring our customers the very best — every single day."
