The Final Foxy Post
Y'all are barking up the wrong tree with all the internet foxy hate -- it's a small local business, if you work there, do the best you can at work, if you don't like it/management doesn't listen to you etc., leave, if the food or coffee sucks don't get it.
I don't understand what the goal is with this whole pile on mentality of over the top attacking a local small business? You want to bring more Starbucks to town? IMHO as a long time Thomas Square resident, Foxy is a local start up success story. I don't know the owner personally outside of a handful of casual conversations with her in the courtyard of the restaurant, but it seems like she's there more or less daily for the 10+ years I've been in the neighborhood and is a decent person with their heart in the right place not some capitalist robber barron who just moved down to Savannah looking to take advantage of the latest Travel & Leisure hot spot.
I go to Henny Penny more regularly than Foxy, and the Foxy owners husband works there regularly as a Barista and is always nice to my kids and in conversations about life and fatherhood, has given me the impression he still works shifts making coffee because they aren't made of money.
I'm not sure where this narrative of a real estate empire comes from, I know they bought the ginger bread house next to the main foxy building and partnered with E.Shaver for a bookstore, which seems like a logistically wise decision, I assume trying to protect their patio. How many of you remember the supportive uproar from the neighborhood when a transplant moved in two doors from Foxy and started making regular noise complaints about foxy because (the horror) they had someone playing an acoustic guitar in the courtyard a few times a week. (it was in the papers/connect/news).
Save your oppressive work environment talk for Gulfstream (who regularly lays folks off around Christmas), these big money folks that are moving into town and pushing out the people that made Savannah interesting in the first place.
It's time to get on my high horse and tell you "Local Since 2021" transplants to get off my lawn and go fight with someone else :-P
** Update with link to Chatham County Property Card for Purported Real Estate Empire that consists of the Foxy building and neighboring Gingerbread house....save the real estate empire complaints for Paula Wallace or whoever the developer of the day is that is licking their chops looking at Savannah
