Foxtrot Market will open 3rd DC location in Dupont Circle

Foxtrot Market, a Chicago-based chain of stores that combines a gourmet market with a coffee shop and curated home delivery, will open a Dupont Circle location at 1601 Connecticut Ave. NW.

It is a space at the corner of Connecticut Avenue and Q Street in D.C. previously occupied by the restaurant Magnolia, which closed in 2020 two years after opening. The pandemic forced the restaurant to close.

Before Magnolia, it was home to the original Circa restaurant, which closed in late 2017.

The Dupont Foxtrot location is currently being renovated, and will open in October with seating inside and outdoors on a covered patio.

In addition to pantry staples and grab-and-go items carried at other Foxtrot locations, the Dupont location will have a charcuterie bar and homemade sandwiches. It also will have what it calls an expansive wine selection, a coffee bar and evening happy hours with beer and wine specials.

The first D.C. Foxtrot opened in Georgetown in March, followed soon after with a second location in Mount Vernon Triangle.

Foxtrot stores fulfill neighborhood delivery orders within one hour. It calls the concept a marriage of a corner store with the convenience of e-commerce.

Foxtrot’s sales in 2020 increased over 100%. It recently raised $42 million in funding for its D.C. expansion.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
