Foxtrot Market and Dom's Kitchen & Market, which merged less than six months ago, have abruptly closed all 33 locations across Chicago, Texas, and Washington D.C., resulting in about 1,000 job cuts. The specialty grocery and café chains filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy following a period of rapid expansion. This sudden shutdown has left employees and customers blindsided, with reports of stores handing out free items on their last day. The closure has also sparked legal concerns, with potential violations of employment laws being highlighted.
