Dee Felice Market has announced its upcoming closure in Covington. The announcement was shared on social media, where the market thanked its customers and the Covington community.
Dee Felice Market Announces Permanent Closure
A Covington favorite has announced it will close permanently next month. Dee Felice Market, which started in 2020, will be saying goodbye to its beloved community. The Dee Felice brand has been a significant part of the community over the years.
Dee Felice started its journey in Covington as a cafe in 1984, which later closed in 2023. While the cafe closed in 2023, the market, launched in 2020, has continued operating. Unfortunately, this will close on May 31, 2026, as well.
The market is known for its fresh artisanal breads and locally sourced specialty items. It is also popular for its selection of legacy items from its former Dee Felice Cafe. It includes homemade Italian sausage, lobster butter, and bol de neige (a dark chocolate and rum dessert).
The market opened during COVID-19 to fulfill the needs of the community. While it served Covington, the neighborhood also supported the business. With this closure, the store will mark the end of an era that started with New Orleans-style food and jazz music.
