A popular market in Northern Kentucky will soon close.
Covington’s Dee Felice Market will host its last day of operation on Sunday, May 31, the owners announced in an April 25 Facebook post. The owners said they are grateful to have been part of the MainStrasse Village community, reflecting on five years of conversations, friendships and everyday moments shared inside the shop.
“We know this news may come as a disappointment, and for that, we are truly sorry. Please know how much this place − and all of you − have meant to us,” the post states. “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support, kindness, and loyalty.”
Dee Felice Market opened in 2021 as a way for the family to keep working together after the COVID-19 pandemic closed the original Dee Felice Cafe in March 2020.
Owner Shelly DeFelice-Nelson closed the decades-old restaurant and jazz club after the ownership team, including her mother and husband, decided they did not want to “jeopardize their health or the health of their staff,” according to a previous Enquirer report.
“What followed was more than we could have imagined. Your support made this a true labor of love,” the owners wrote.
