Dive Brief:
Upscale convenience store chain Foxtrot announced on Tuesday it plans to open 50 locations across the U.S. over the next two years. The expansion includes new markets like New York City, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles, Houston and Austin, Texas.
The upcoming locations will be double the size of its current stores and feature on-site dining, revamped cafe menus and merchandising and assortment that emphasizes product discovery.
The rapid expansion furthers Foxtrot’s plans to use $42 million of new funding from earlier this year to grow its geographic footprint in both existing markets as well as new ones.
