David's Bridal to sell company, lay off more than 9,000 employees nationwide
2023-04-18
[NYPOST] David’s Bridal is laying off thousands of employees across the country as it makes plans to sell the company — just weeks before wedding season kicks off.

The country’s largest bridal retailer fired its first round of employees Friday and plans to lay off the rest in two separate phases that will stretch through August, a WARN notice filed with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor shows.

A total of 9,236 employees will be eliminated across David’s Bridal’s 300 stores in the mass sacking.

"We are evaluating our strategic options and a sale process is underway," a spokesperson told The Post.

"At this time, there are no updates to share, and all stores are open to serve customers. Providing excellent service remains our focus and we are committed to serving and delivering for our brides and customers and being part of magical moments."

Corporate employees were the first to get the ax, a similar WARN notice filed in Colorado shows.

Distribution center workers will be on the chopping block in June, while field and store employees will be fired from June through August.
