On August 6th, the store Foxtrot will be opening its door in Old Town! Foxtrot is a new kind of corner store – a contemporary evolution of the neighborhood market and cafe offering a thoughtfully curated collection of goods in-store or delivered in under an hour via our app or website.

This will be the seventh store that friends, co-founders, and Old Town natives, Mike LaVitola (Chicago native) and Taylor Bloom have opened in Chicago. Foxtrot also has a store in Dallas, Texas.

Curation, convenience, and community are what matters to Foxtrot and these three values have guided the experience that they wish to give to their guests. Their stores offer warm, welcoming interiors with a full-service coffee bar, all day cafe menu, wines by the glass/local beer on tap, and comfortable lounge areas to work and relax. From a morning coffee to a midday bite to a late-night treat, Foxtrot has you covered from AM to PM.

The Foxtrot shelves are stocked with a carefully selected, rotating assortment of today’s most exciting brands, up-and-coming makers and local favorites – a place to discover the best local products alongside corner store staples, gifts and everyday essentials.

Foxtrot also delivers their curated selection from the store to your door in under 60 minutes, making it even easier to discover your city’s best goods.

Foxtrot is excited to be opening up in the Old Town neighborhood. “We love the energy and community-centric atmosphere that Old Town reflects – everyone has already shown us such a warm welcome, and we’re excited to open our doors to the neighborhood. We look forward to connecting residents and merchants with not only a more convenient and thoughtful shopping experience, but also a place to gather and connect with each other.”

Foxtrot will be celebrating our opening all week long with a lineup of free events at the store – come check them out!
