After 24 years, Dallas' beloved Celebration restaurant is closing down its to-go market but the restaurant will prevail.
According to a post from the home-cooking restaurant, it will close its adjacent Celebration Market on Sunday, June 2.
The restaurant is at 4503 W. Lovers Ln., while the market is in a smaller building next door at 4515 W. Lovers Ln.
However, they will continue to offer most of the items from the Market - especially their Holiday Feasts in November and December - either through the restaurant and catering.
Celebration restaurant is one of Dallas' oldest restaurants, serving wholesome home-cooking since 1971.
In 2000, they opened Celebration Market next to the restaurant to serve customers who prefer their meals on-the-go. They had meals at the ready, to be picked up during store hours, as well as an on-line shopping cart and order for pick up.
The Market offered the same farm-to-table fare offered in the restaurant, and like many restaurants, saw a surge in business during the pandemic. However, the closure is not pandemic-related.
A spokesperson for the restaurant said their goal with the closure was not to take options away but to streamline.
"We'll still offer much of the same items through the restaurant and catering, but we felt like it was complicating things to have three separate entities for the restaurant, the catering division, and the market," the spokesperson said.
They haven't decided what will go into the space, but offered thanks to customers, saying, "we express our sincere gratitude for your support and loyalty throughout the years. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we wok towards improvements."
