Today, Fox is an international chain with stores in 10 countries, [http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3540109,00.html Foxy dilemma] Ynetnews, 6 May 2008] Israel, Russia, Singapore, China, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Thailand, and Panama.

There are 200 retail shops in Israel, 8 in Russia, 18 in Singapore, 87 point-of-sale (PoS) in China, 5 in Bulgaria, 2 in Croatia, 21 in Romania, 32 PoS in Thailand, 30 PoS in Panama, as well as other retailers, wholesalers and franchisers abroad.

In 2008 Fox encounted criticism and a faced potential consumer boycott in Israel when they signed Israeli supermodel Bar Rafaeli, a draft-dodger from mandatory military service, on a $300,000 campaign deal. Fox responded by having Rafaeli plan to act as an IDF "Enlistment Officer" and visit injured soldiers at the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer every time she arrives in Israel.
