Foxtrot Market opened its sixth D.C. store in Logan Circle Oct. 18, less than three years after the Chicago-based company opened its first store in the District.

It is Foxtrot’s eighth store in the D.C. area.

The Logan Circle Foxtrot is at 1314 14th St. N.W., with the storefront with the iconic giant wooden barrel as its entrance. The Barrel House property has been around since the 1940s. Its last tenant, Barrel House Liquor, relocated next door in 2015. The Barrel entrance is prominently part of the property’s newest tenant.

The Logan Circle location for Foxtrot was originally planned for a summer 2022 opening.

Foxtrot’s most recent openings were in Navy Yard and Farragut Square, which opened in January.

Foxtrot’s first D.C. store opened in Georgetown in 2021. Its other locations are in Dupont Circle and Mount Vernon in D.C., and stores in Old Town Alexandria and Rosslyn in Virginia and Bethesda in Maryland.

Foxtrot stores are part corner market, part cafe, and part neighborhood delivery. Its stores curate products from local makers, more than 50 of which are featured at the Logan store, including Nightingale Ice Cream, Ceremony Coffee, Anchor Beer, and Little Sesame hummus.

The Logan Circle store is Foxtrot’s 32nd location. Washington was its first expansion city outside of Chicago. It now also has stores in Dallas and Austin, Texas.

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.
