The Wall Street Journal reported that the Conshohocken, Pennsylvania-based retailer employs over 11,000 people. According to a statement by David’s Bridal, the business is “evaluating our strategic options and a sale process is underway.” It added that all its stores are still open right now. According to a comparable WARN notice filed in Colorado, corporate employees were the first to lose their jobs. Field and retail personnel will be let go from June through August, while employees at the distribution center will face the axe in June.
Although the precise location of the layoffs is unknown, all employees may be impacted, according to the warnings. In the upcoming months, retailers might also start closing their doors. The layoffs occur as the wedding gown store’s issues worsen; according to The New York Times, which cited people familiar with the situation, the company is reportedly declaring bankruptcy for the second time in five years. The store may be considering a sale as part of its restructuring strategy, the outlet said.
In 2018, David’s Bridal declared bankruptcy due to mounting debt and dwindling wedding dress sales. It managed to emerge from bankruptcy in 2019 and kept working to improve the company. David’s Bridal’s layoffs coincide with continued employment losses in the retail, IT, and other sectors.
