DALLAS — About three weeks after all Foxtrot Market locations suddenly closed, the parent company of the specialty grocer and café has filed for bankruptcy, court records show. Foxtrot previously had four locations in Dallas and a total of 33 locations across the country.
Outfox Hospitality May 14 filed a Chapter 7 voluntary petition in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware.
The company said in the filing that after any administrative expenses are paid, no funds are expected to be available to pay any unsecured creditors.
Outfox Hospitality estimated it has between 5,001 and 10,000 creditors, and estimated assets and liabilities between $10 million and $50 million, according to court records.
All 33 Foxtrot locations and two of the company’s Dom Kitchen & Market locations shut down nationwide April 23. Their Dallas locations were in Uptown, Knox-Henderson, Greenville Avenue and Snider Plaza near SMU.
"We explored many avenues to continue the business but found no viable option despite good faith and exhaustive efforts," the company said in the April 23 announcement of the closures on its social media pages. "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."
Foxtrot, which was based in Chicago, also had locations in Washington D.C. and Austin.
The news of the bankruptcy filing and the closures come about six months after the Dom's Kitchen and Market (also based in Chicago) and Foxtrot announced their merger in November.
