Three days after Foxtrot and Dom’s Market suddenly closed, former employees were struggling to find new jobs. Many gathered to support workers’ rights, suspecting parent company Outfox Hospitality may have violated the WARN Act. Outfox Hospitality did not respond to requests for comments but noted on the Dom’s Market website that they had explored various options but could not find a viable solution despite their efforts.
The closures had a ripple effect on other small, locally-owned businesses in Chicago. Corey Kaplan, owner of Corey’s Bagels, shared how the closure of Dom’s Market impacted him directly. He used to supply Dom’s Market daily, but the relationship abruptly ended without any warning. Now, Kaplan is left without his largest account and is also owed money that he does not expect to receive.
Kaplan expressed his concerns about the broader impact of the closures on many individuals and businesses. He encouraged former customers of Dom’s and Foxtrot to support local businesses that supplied these grocers. Kaplan hoped that customers would consider visiting brick-and-mortar shops like his that had supported the now-closed stores for years.
In the wake of the sudden closures of Dom’s and Foxtrot, the community rallied to support affected workers and businesses. Many are still grappling with the aftermath and uncertainties caused by the closures, hoping for answers and solutions in the near future.
