Seven years after its founding in Chicago as a delivery-only convenience store, Foxtrot Market has developed into a popular chain of neighborhood-focused physical locations that now operates in three cities. The company, which opened its first store in the West Loop neighborhood of Illinois’ biggest city in 2016 and later expanded to Dallas, unveiled its first location in Washington, D.C., on March 1.
Like Foxtrot’s 10 other stores, the new location is a miniature specialty grocery store, coffee shop, wine seller and delivery hub all in one. The 3,000-square-foot store fuses those elements with a strong emphasis on locally produced goods to create an atmosphere designed to encourage shoppers to linger even as it emphasizes speed. In keeping with Foxtrot’s roots in e-commerce, everything in its assortment of about 1,000 SKUs is also available for delivery within an hour.
