CHICAGO (CBS) -- Two Chicago-based grocery chains, Dom's Kitchen & Market and Foxtrot Market, suddenly closed their stores Tuesday.
This came six months after the chains announced a merger.
"It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you of a difficult decision we have had to make. After much consideration and evaluation, we regret to announce that Foxtrot and Dom's Kitchen & Market will be closing their doors starting on April 23, 2024," Dom's Kitchen & Market wrote in a message on their website. "We explored many avenues to continue the business but found no viable option despite good faith and exhaustive efforts."
In November, Dom's – a pair of upscale grocery stores – and Foxtrot – a high-end convenience store chain – announced they were merging under the new entity Outfox Hospitality.
Each and every Dom's and Foxtrot store closed Tuesday. Delivery was halted, mobile apps went dark, and store credit cards were cut off.
All Foxtrot and Dom's account credits and member perks were voided effective Tuesday.
The closure affects both Dom's locations in Chicago, and all 33 Foxtrot stores in Chicago; Austin and Dallas, Texas; and the Washington D.C. area.
"This decision has not been made lightly, and we understand the impact it will have on you, our loyal customers, as well as our dedicated team members. We want to express our sincerest gratitude for your support and patronage throughout the years. It has been our highest honor to elevate the everyday and create a remarkable shopping experience for people who love food as much as we do. It has been a privilege serving you and being a part of your everyday lives," the companies said in a statement.
