Seems there's more to the recent closing of Francine's market in Hockessin then business owner Francine Covelli's written explanation in a recent newsletter about refrigeration woes.
Stopped by this evening and an eviction notice is now posted on the front door of the former produce market off Del. 41. There's also a padlock around the door handles.
(Hmmm, just a few weeks ago a sign taped on the front door read closed for "spring break.")
Thomas Stone, who owns the building, says new tenants are coming soon. For years, the site had been Tomm's Produce Market. Stone closed it 2 1/2 years ago to become a minister. He leased the site to Covelli. Stone says he does not plan to reopen Tomm's.
More details to come.
