Foxtrot to reopen second Dallas store ThursdayFoxtrot to reopen second Dallas store Thursday

Foxtrot Café & Market is reopening its second Dallas location Thursday. The store, located at 6565 Hillcrest Ave., will feature an expanded coffee experience and a reimagined food menu, the urban convenience-store chain said. 

Foxtrot’s former owner Outfox Hospitality unexpectedly shuttered all 33 stores in April. Since then, new owners have been reopening some of these stores in Chicago and now Dallas. In January, the first Dallas store reopened at 3130 Knox St. 

Foxtrot's expanded full-day menu will include new breakfast taco flavors such as borracho bean, brisket guisado and grilled veggie. Panini sandwiches, salads and bowls are also new to the menu, along with fresh-baked cookies. 

The stores are also bringing back customer favorites like gummies and gummy mixes, while continuing to highlight emerging CPG brands. 

“Reopening our second location in University Park is a significant milestone for us. It’s not just about expanding but about deepening our connection with a community that has supported us from the beginning,” said Taylor Boom, Foxtrot co-founder and Dallas native. “This new store allows us to continue providing quality coffee, fresh food and local products, while staying true to our mission of creating spaces where people can gather and enjoy something unique.”

For its grand opening, the store will offer a $3 Mustang Cold Brew to Southern Methodist University (SMU) students, along with other free samples on Friday. 

On Saturday, children will receive a free lemonade with any purchase from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Customers can also sample TruJoy Frozen Greek Yogurt, Super Duper Cookies and Crazy Beautiful Wines throughout the day. 

About a month after the chain closed its doors, holding company Further Point Enterprises purchased Foxtrot’s assets for about $2.2 million. Days later, Foxtrot parent company Outfox Hospitality filed for bankruptcy. 

Foxtrot founder Mike LaVitola was asked by Further Point to revive the brand. 

Chicago-based Foxtrot got its start in 2014 as a delivery-focused company selling snacks, beer and wine. Once hailed as the “convenience store of the future,” the chain raised more than $160 million over its lifetime before being acquired by Outfox Hospitality at the end of 2023. 

In addition to Chicago and Dallas, Foxtrot also operated stores in Austin and Washington, D.C.
