Two high-growth Chicago<\/span>-based food retail brands to merge with purpose of better serving customers and expanding mission to redefine food experiences <\/i><\/p>\n CHICAGO<\/span><\/span>, Nov. 28, 2023<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Chicago<\/span>-based food retailers, Foxtrot Market<\/a><\/u> and Dom’s Kitchen & Market<\/a><\/u> (Dom’s), are excited to announce an agreement in principle to merge their two companies. With a shared vision to redefine food shopping and dining experiences for the local communities they serve, this merger is just the beginning of a prosperous partnership that will bring thoughtfully curated products and experiences to consumers.<\/p>\n Upon closing, the merger of Foxtrot Market and Dom’s Kitchen & Market will fall under a new entity, Outfox Hospitality. Liz Williams<\/span> will become the CEO, leading all day-to-day operations for the company, with Don Fitzgerald<\/span> serving as Dom’s Kitchen & Market President & COO through a transition period. Mike LaVitola<\/span>, Co-Founder of Foxtrot, Jay Owen<\/span>, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Dom’s, and Bob Mariano<\/span>, Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of Dom’s, will continue to hold advisor and board roles within the organization.<\/p>\n “Dom’s has long admired the Foxtrot brand, viewing it as an industry trailblazer and a market disruptor,” said Jay Owen<\/span>, Co-Founder and Board Chairman. “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. We do this by curating high quality goods, preparing expertly crafted meals, and delivering warm and friendly service.”<\/p>\n “Foxtrot was created with the vision of building a community of people who love to discover new and interesting products, either by gathering at our stores, or having them delivered from our user-friendly app \u2013 a goal we’ve proudly accomplished over the past 10 years,” said Liz Williams<\/span>, CEO of Outfox Hospitality. “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.”<\/p>\n The merging of these two high-growth companies will provide fan-favorite food and wines from both brands across all stores. Together, the two will continue 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. Additionally, with both concepts headquartered in Chicago<\/span>, there are scale advantages and the ability to leverage resources across both formats. At present, the combined brands have 34 locations in the Chicago<\/span>, DC, Dallas<\/span>, and Austin<\/span> markets.<\/p>\n “We are thrilled to share Foxtrot cult favorites like our gummy candies, savory snacks and unique wines with the Dom’s community and to bring Dom’s delicious, expertly prepared meal options to local Foxtrot stores,” added Williams. “In addition to our markets, our cafe and coffee businesses are at the heart of our stores and we look forward to continued growth through our partnership. Together, we will bring together community, convenience and curated culinary to create a unique experience for consumers.”<\/p>\n The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023 and is subject to customary closing conditions.
