Four and half months after suddenly closing stores in Chicago, Texas, and Washington, D.C., Foxtrot will attempt a comeback by opening its first store this week. Outfox Hospitality, the company that ran those 33 stores filed for bankruptcy in May, leaving a wake of angry vendors, workers scrambling to find new jobs, and accusations of breaking federal labor law. Since then, a new entity has been formed by the chain’s co-founder who says he’ll return the company to its roots by showcasing cool snacks made by local artisans and avoid the pitfalls that lead to the chain’s failure.

Casa Guadalupe Supermarket, a local produce and meat market, is moving into the former Walgreens space at Mission Street and Cesar Chavez Avenue, per this scoop from SFist. Construction is underway inside the building, as the new tenant renovates to add shelving and refrigerators — while outside, a spiffy dark blue awning advertises “productos Mexicanos, Centroamericano, y Sudamericanos; quesos de todas clases; carnes y chorizos; frescos frutas y verduras; cervezas y groceries.” (Re cervezas: Casa Guadalupe applied for a liquor license to sell beer, wine, and liquor to-go.) The supermarket has two other Mission Street locations; it seems to be consolidating both at the new location, per SFist. Maybe it’s not so bad that the Walgreens shuttered after all.
