Fox was founded in 1942 in The British Mandate of Palestine (now Israel) as Trico Fox Ltd. (Hebrew: טריקו פוקס בע"מ). After having its IPO on TASE in 2002, the company became Fox-Wizel Ltd. Today, Fox is an international chain with stores in ten countries:[2] Israel, Russia, Singapore, China, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Thailand, Panama and the Philippines. In Fall 2008, Fox stores opened in Canada.[1] There is also one store in Munich, Germany.[3]

Fox also has a joint partnership (50%) in Laline Candles & Soaps Ltd.[1] The company is headquartered in Ben Gurion International Airport, near Tel Aviv.[1]

In 2008, Fox encountered criticism and faced a potential consumer boycott in Israel when they signed Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli,[2] who avoided Israel's mandatory military service via a nuptial exemption for a marriage lasting a short period of time,[4][5][6] on a $300,000 campaign deal.[7] Fox responded by having Refaeli plan to act as an IDF "Enlistment Officer" and visit injured soldiers.[7][8]
