Oak Cliff roastery says it's owed $7,000 from Foxtrot Market

Zoom in: Dallas had four Foxtrots, including a new Greenville location that was once a bar that the City of Dallas shut down.

• Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters used to supply the mocha for Foxtrot's drinks and had worked with the market since it had just two locations.
• "They were our biggest clients," the roastery's operations director, Jessica Young, tells Axios.
• The roastery is still owed around $7,000 from Foxtrot, Young says.

Zoom out: "I contacted over 100 vendors after it happened to see if anyone had any intel, and everyone was surprised and/or not getting paid," Young says.

Catch up quick: Foxtrot workers got word on April 23, while stores were still open and serving customers, that they needed to close.

• Many teams put handwritten signs outside the stores to announce the store's abrupt closure.
• The company is auctioning "substantially all" of its assets in a foreclosure sale Friday.

• A former Chicago employee alleges in a proposed class action lawsuit that the company violated federal law when it terminated employees without notice.

Friction point: Young says it doesn't make financial sense to file a lawsuit over the money owed because "the odds of getting paid aren't that good."

• But, she says, she would like to at least get the mocha back because it has a "forever shelf life."

The bottom line: Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters is trying to find new clients again, Young says.

• "That's all we can do now: Be mad or figure out how to turn the anxiety into something profitable," she says.
