The La Quinta Cove post office is slated to close, while Tower Market is reportedly expanding. The branch sits at 51-321 Avenida Bermudas.
The Cove post office is part of a reported closure and market-expansion story, according to The Desert Sun. The U.S. Postal Service has not said what will happen to the two collection boxes at the site once the branch closes, the outlet reports.
Tower Energy Group, the company behind the project, is headquartered in Torrance at 1983 West 190th Street and operates as a major fuel distributor and retail store operator across California, according to a City of Santa Rosa document establishing the company's corporate background. The Tower Market Expansion is listed as an active commercial development project under formal municipal review, according to the City of La Quinta's Design and Development Planning Division.
A Civic Fixture Facing the Wrecking Ball
The Cove post office is located in the neighborhood.
The USPS lists the main La Quinta location at 79-125 Corporate Center Drive. The Cove branch offered weekday retail counter service and PO Box access and was closed on weekends.
A Growing Footprint in the Desert
Tower Market's expansion adds to the Coachella Valley's mix of gas and convenience stores. A proposed Tower Market location in Santa Rosa is described in a City of Santa Rosa document.
The Old Town corridor around the site remains part of the area's broader development story.
Open Questions for Cove Residents
Nearby, Old Town La Quinta has continued adding community offerings, including the Art for All creative reuse center that was scheduled to open on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at 78046 Calle Barcelona. But for Cove residents who rely on the post office down the street, the bigger unanswered questions remain squarely postal: where PO Box holders will be reassigned and whether outdoor collection boxes will stay in the area once the Avenida Bermudas branch is gone.
