Fox's Finest Meats, Seafood & Marketplace

What could be more Kirkwood than a legacy business in a historic building? ❤️

Turns out, Fox’s Finest isn’t the first neighborhood market to call the corner of Argonne and Clay home.

Built in 1875, Leo Heinzelman sold bakery goods, groceries, meats and vegetables at the corner store 🥩🥦🥖 Later, he even added a drug store — making this place a go-to spot for the community.

And the best part? After school, kids would rush in to spend their pennies on candy and sweet treats 🍬

More than 100 years later, we’re honored to carry on that same community spirit — bringing good food, gathering neighbors together, and creating a place that feels uniquely Kirkwood.

Meet the Fox’s behind Fox’s Finest Meats, Seafood & Marketplace 🦊

Father and son duo, Kevin and Luke Beattie both share the middle name Fox, and it’s a family name that’s been passed down for generations. When thinking of a name for the new store, Fox’s Finest seemed like a natural fit.

Both born and raised in the Kirkwood community and alumna of Kirkwood High School, Luke remembered participating in his marketing class senior project helping local businesses. When launching Fox’s Finest, Luke reached out to Mr. Bunton’s senior marketing class and worked with the students to build the brand.

At Fox’s Finest, we’re all about community. As a family owned and operated gourmet grocer in Kirkwood, our goal is simple: to be the place you stop in, see a familiar place, and leave inspired for dinner.
